Of course the President is opposed to amnesty and has never proposed it but why lets facts get in the way of a good rant?
Most political observers agree that if President Bush had not increased his Hispanic vote about 10 points over his year 2000 percentage, he would not have won the election.
Had President Bus not made the efforts he did during the last four years to attract Hispanic voters we would have a President Kerry today.
If we alienate the Hispanic voters with racists talk about them destroying our culture, ruining our neighborhoods, being gang criminals, welfare abusers, unloyal, disease ridden, lazy, unsanitary, etc... we will not get enough of their votes to win the White House in 2008.
If we had not won this last year and if we don't win in 2008 we will probably never change the abortion laws in our lifetime.
All economists recognize the need for immigrant labor in America now. The current immigration laws aren't allowing a sufficient number in. Now we can simply raise the number of immigrants allowed in and expedite the process where it only takes a few weeks to get a green card instead of several years, or instead we can enact a guest worker program that only allows the number and type of immigrant laborers needed in, and who will return home after several years.
We can discuss immigration in a non-offensive manner or we can revert to the insulting, inflammatory rhetoric that the Buchanan/Tancredo, FAIR, CIS etc... professional fundraisers use to solicit contributions from racists and xenophobes.
If we alienate our Hispanic voters , hundreds of millions of babies will die in the following decades.
This is where I get called a racist for supporting the deportation of all illegal immigrants, so I might as well say I support the deportation of all illegal immigrants with the cost of this operation to be deducted from the Constitutionally unauthorized aid we send the country in question.
