Would you believe that Rush just quoted Bob Novak's little blurb that we were discussing in this thread..Believe the last paragraph????

He repeated it like it was the truth that the Senators were told by their constituents during the Easter recess and were reporting back that they were less outraged by leaky borders than the possible loss of immigrant workers.

Meanwhile he was talking about everything but the illegal alien stories. He just threw that in as an aside.

There were more articles printed about how mad the Americans were after these marches and less sympathetic toward the illegals, especially when they were waving the Mexican flag and all those anti Grino signs.


IMMIGRATION POLITICS

New national polling data shows, to the surprise of many politicians, that the immigration issue is one of the very rare areas where President Bush is gaining rather than losing strength.

The conventional wisdom has been that Bush's guest worker proposal runs sharply against mainstream Republican opinion and contributes to the president's loss of party support. However, current polls show Republican opinion on the issue is split, as are the Democrats, with a national majority actually backing Bush (while he continues to drop in nearly every other category).

Some Republican members of Congress have reported back from Easter recess to say that their constituents are less outraged by leaky borders than the possible loss of immigrant workers, some from their own households.
