ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS?

On the matter of illegal immigration, Republicans have been taking a lot of flak for the RINOs in the Senate who seem willing to give away the store. Because of this, the Republican Party is split. Meanwhile, the Democrats have been doing the "dog in the manger" thing, sitting back and letting the Republicans fight it out. Democrats are content to see the dissension in the enemy ranks and figure they can just wait around and see them self-destruct.

However, 82% of Democrats voted against the 2006 House bill, which was long on border protection, (building a wall), and punishing those who aid and abet illegals. The Republicans in the House, on the other hand, voted 92% in favor of the tough 2006 House bill. In effect, what the Democrats were saying was that they would not restrain illegal immigration in any meaningful way. They take the attitude of “come one, come all, and we will provide all the benefits the American citizens now enjoyâ€

Democrat politicians aren't listening to their citizens. Just check out the Democrat Underground they are as anti-illegal immigration as anyone else. Warning non-liberals who post there automatically get banned.
