Immigration; just another wedge
Sometimes, I gotta think that the media and the Democrats are just using the issue of what to do with illegal immigrants to divide Republicans – to separate us from the President and from Congress. And apparently it’s working. last year, when the media could use Latin immigrants marching against the President’s policies (or lack thereof) they did. This year, they can parade Republicans protesting the President and Congress.
Why else would Democrats bring the immigration bill back after it collapsed a few months ago and they’d declared it wouldn’t be back during this session – except that they saw how deeply divided Republicans and Conservatives are on the issue.
It’s funny how we conservatives point and laugh at Leftists for being single-issue voters on the environment or gay “rights” or women’s “rights” or healthcare “rights” – yet some of us get our panties twisted in a knot and threaten to leave the party, leave “Jorge”, leave the country over things like immigration.
It’s how the Democrats won in 1992 (it was that “read my lips” lie they told ya’all that year and ya’all believed it) and it’s how they’re going to win in 2008. Except this time, it’s going to be an entirely different nation when 2016 rolls around.
