Several years ago, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill that gave illegals a path to citizenship. Were the Republican Senators, who voted for the bill, citizens then? If they weren't, were they illegals?

You just don't get it. Taking a hard line on the illegal immigrants issue guarantees that Hispanics won't vote for the Republican nominee. Democrats don't need any additional Hispanic votes. The Republicans are doing the Democrats a favor by taking the position on illegal immigrants that they are. Even if the Republican wins, he can't follow through on his campaign statement. The hard line on illegals is nothing but noise. But what do you expect to happen, when you give a child a rattle. Noise you want. Noise you get.
