Republicans And Immigration

by Thomas Sowell - May 11th, 2006 - TownHall.com

Maybe some recent polls will put some backbone into Senate Republicans. But don't bet the rent money on it.

The percentages vary a little from poll to poll, as is usually the case, but these polls agree on one thing -- the public's top priority on the immigration issues is controlling the borders.

As usual Thomas Sowell points our reality. Whether explaining economics or explaining Republican inconsistency, Sowell always gets to the heart of the matter.

We have to defend our borders. There is not one war going on, there are two. We are not under attack from the islamofascists alone but from the Mexicans as well. Reconquista is reality and unless America starts to defend our borders, this 220 year old democracy will be gone. If the Southwest goes back to Mexico, the deconstruction of the union that was attempted once before will happen again. The bloodshed will be just as bad this time as last, but the consequences of the outcome are not likely to be as positive. I see no Abraham Lincoln saving the union this time.

Do you really see the people who have formed ANSWER as being willing to stay in a nation where they have lost the votes of California? Without California the democratic party is finished.

However Sowell is right. In the meantime we seem to have a Republican Party that is determined to help the Mexican invasion succeed.
