I’ve been fairly hard on turncoat Republicans in the last few days. But let’s not forget that Democrats overwhelmingly favor complete and total amnesty for illegal immigrants, and are using the same old tactics of guilt, class warfare and race baiting to get what they want."This amendment is racist.

Here’s the thing…What to do with the illegal immigrants that are in this country is one issue. How to stop more from coming in is something altogether different. The demand by the President and the Senate for a comprehensive immigration bill amounts to extortion in my book…'Accept amnesty for illegals or we are going to let more of them in.'Besides President Bush, the following Republicans seem

My gut reaction to the Bush speech is as follows:A comprehensive bill which provides a path to citizenship = AmnestySince when are crimes committed five years ago no longer crimes? When did we implement a statute of limitations on lawbreaking?Did we have to throw out that 'jobs Americans are not doing' line again?
