Quote from ..........:
My question is where were these tea baggers when Bush and McCain were trying to grant amnesty for illegals
Evidently Lucrum and his silly ilk are saying occasional whining about Bush policies in this or some other forum when Bush was in office (but not actually doing anything, let us note) somehow equates to the street-marching, protesting tea baggers of today.Quote from hermit:
There were Tea party protests back then? Any references?

Agreed, illegal immigration isn't -- or shouldn't be -- about race. Unfortunately racists make up a significant portion of the anti-illegal activists (imagine how that makes an anti-racist, pro-nationalist like me feel). Other states would be wise to follow the model of California's Prop 187, which was as race-free as an anti-illegal-alien proposal could be. Arizona has put itself in the unfortunate position of looking like racial profiling, which left it vulnerable to accusations of racism, whether justified or not. That it was written by a guy who seems to pal around with white supremacists doesn't help one bit.Quote from CaptainObvious:
If racism is the only argument the left can mount, they will lose the argument. Illegal immigration isn't about race. Conservatives and most of America did not support the Bush postion on immigration. Also, they didn't support it when Ronnie Rayguns was jamming his slave trade policies on immigration.
If the "people" actually get to decide this issue, illegal immigrants, their supporters and apologists, have a tough road ahead of them. It's unlikely that the people will decide because the scum Dem and Repub power brokers in D.C. want the votes and the slave labor of the illegals.
