Ignorance Loves Company

American citizens want immigration reform in exactly the opposite way that American politicians do. The politicians are being dishonest about their motives, about the dangers, about the benefits, and about what they are really hearing from their constituents.

I'm a couple of blocks outside of Representative Tancredo's district, but you can bet your sweet bippy that if he runs for senate he will have my vote. The NRA was successful a couple of elections back when it made gun control the singular deciding issue for political races. Their success in that election and their demonstrated post-election successes as they relate to gun rights shows how effective such a strategy can be. I hope that Numbers USA or one of the similar lobbying groups will take a lesson from the NRA's book and will help make the '06 and '08 elections about immigration. It's what the voters want.
