The Texas Republican Party has thrown in its lot with openness, thanks in no small part to the Bush dynasty. The party refused to engage in the immigrant-bashing that eventually condemned the Californian Republican Party to irrelevance. Indeed, George Bush was a frequent visitor to Mexico, and an enthusiastic, if imperfect, speaker of Spanish. The party also successfully got rid of affirmative action while holding out a helping hand to poorer people, offering places at state universities in Texas to the top 10% of students from every school. The Texan GOP's national ascendancy has thankfully condemned more xenophobic Republican traditions to the wilderness, not least the isolationist tradition that flourished in the mid-west.

Sheer claptrap.

It was a de facto alliance of GOP political gamesmanship (in which then-gubernatorial candidate George W. Bush was a participant), along with the liberal press, an extreme Leftist Judge Mariana Pfaelzer, and Democrat liar extraordinaire Gray Davis that wrongly mischaracterized opposition to Illegal Aliens as "immigrant bashing" or "xenophobic."

This fight is far from over, as the uproar over President Bush's attempted Amnesty appeasement (in the form of his Section 245(i) extension), and his defeat last Spring demonstrate. The collusion against Proposition #187 only delayed and exacerbated the coming battle over Illegal Aliens in this country and the Republican Party.

The Republican defeat in La. was due to the fact that people woke up to the fact we have a President giving away America under the table..as more and more leaks out he is assured of a one term presidency as was his daddy..no conservative that cowboy..A "New World Order " man just like his dad
