Probably because a very large majority of the Democrats in the U.S. Congress support amnesty. As for Republicans, the opposite is true (small minority support amnesty). So, that is why most of the "fingers" get pointed at the Democrats. I'd say the Democrats deserve eight fingers and the Republicans two fingers.

Exactly, their voting records is why they are getting the well deserved blame.

When the Republicans had control of the White House under Bush they were for amnesty. In fact Bush openingly supported amnesty. And if they regain control of Congress and or the White House they will support amnesty in some form. As for only 20% of Republicans being for amnesty that is only maybe their public position. If the leadership wants it-- and they do want it-- then the rest of the Republican memebers of Congress will support it in some way. IMHO

URGENT FLORIDA ALERT!!!ACTION NEEDED NOW!

While it's true that Bush was pushing for an amnesty, it is NOT true that the Republicans, excluding a small handful of knuckleheads, supported amnesty. It was actually Republicans that stopped the last two amnesty attempts. The majority of Republicans did not follow Bush, however, I fear the situation will be very different where Obama and his Democrats are concerned.

FACT: A large majority of Democrats support the legalization of illegal aliens and a large majority of Republicans don't. Folks like Sen. Graham, Sen. McCain, and Rep. Flake are not representitive of the majority of Republicans in the U.S. Congress.

And if they regain control of Congress and or the White House they will support amnesty in some form.

The majority of Republicans didn't support amnesty when Bush was in office, so what in the world makes you think they'll support it with Obama in office?

Their "public position" is normally how they will vote in the end. To vote opposite of their stated position would be political suicide.

If the leadership wants it-- and they do want it-- then the rest of the Republican memebers of Congress will support it in some way.

The Republican leadership in the Congress does not support a path to legalization for illegal aliens. Unfortunately they do support a guestworker program, but they do not support amnesty.

MW, it was only a few days ago Chairman Steele of the Republican party said he was going to help illegal alien protestors find another Republican to sponsor an amnesty bill. But there's no way the leadership is going to cave in on amnesty?

Regardless of what Steele says, he does not speak for every Republican in the U.S. Congress.

From what I understand, Steele’s relationship with Republican leaders in Congress is not good.

In 2007, Steele opposed giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens out of fear that they would register to vote. He also called the 2007 CIR bill amnesty and said there would be no change in the Republican Party’s enforcement-only immigration approach. For the record, Steele will have lost my respect and support (like I'm sure he cares ) if he has decided to flip-flop on his previous postion.

Republicans would have to become supportive of an entitlement, welfare society, which more and more Americans, especially Republicans, are rejecting. Democrats are following that path, and they are the ones that illegal aliens have identified with, as well as the other Democrat extensions, such as La Raza, SEIU, AFL-CIO.

Exactly!! It really is just that simple.

Perfectly stated, Dixie.

Steele didn't actually say that. Amnesty people said that. Steele said they got it wrong, and I'm far more inclined to believe Steele over these amnesty advocates who lie about everything.
