Border Security Bill: No Guest Workers, No Amnesty for Lawbreakers
I wonder if our political leaders even care what their constituents think. NO ONE I know, and I know a lot of people, wants any kind of guest worker program or any form of leniency for illegal immigrants included in any new border security legislation. In fact, most folks I know simply want to enforce the laws we already have, and only want Congress to fund the necessary tools to do so. More agents, a border wall, more deportation, more technology, less beuracracy.
But no, this is what we get from Republicans to whom conservatives gave a big majority in both houses:

McCain is a simply a liberal in Republican clothes, I usually just try to ignore him. Hagel and Frist call themselves Republicans too, but are dangerously close to losing their base of support due to their inclusion of guest worker and/or legalization legislation in their bills. These men, aided and abetted by W's weakness on this issue, will destroy the Republican party with their soft illegal immigration stance. We are not amused.
Democrats will be able to lie, as is usual for them, about being 'tough on illegal immigrants' and unseat many Republicans, especially in border states. By the time the electorate realizes that the Democrats they elected are even more pro-illegal than the Republicans, it will be too late. I see a large number of recall elections in our future.
REPUBLICANS: Better get with the program, or your days are ALL numbered.
Until then, GO MINUTEMEN!!! I've recently become a proud volunteer, by the way...
Adios MF,
