Dems Ready to Shoot Themselves in the Foot on Immigration

Posted by Dave Blount at March 30, 2006 6:40 PM

Some Democrats are getting excited about the possibility (albeit remote) that Republicans will actually take some responsibility and deal with the illegal immigration crisis before it causes potentially permanent damage to the country, and that it will hurt them with Hispanic voters.

As for the Dems taking any responsibility were they to regain power, forget about it. Senator Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer (D-NY) crows that his party will "show Hispanics who their real friends are."

But they had better be careful about showing Americans who are in this country legally who their real friends aren't. As even the NY Times admits:

Polls show large majorities of the public both support tighter borders as a matter of national security, and oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants. Many working-class Democrats resent what they see as a continuing influx of cheap labor.

Defending our country will be a winning issue for Republicans, if they can just show a little nerve.
