Gives illegals a free pass on the crimes they have committed a pass that neither you or I would enjoy? Try not paying your taxes for 5 years and see what happens. Let a legal immigrant commit those same crimes and they face deportation. Rewarding criminal behavior is never the answer. That is just common sense.

Then you don't know any and there is not a single country anywhere that simply allows people to stream across their borders unchecked.

Canada doesn't have economists or are their politicians simply ignoring all their advice?

This is a tired trick also. Hardly anyone opposes immigration.

Obviously ... that particular Congressional district has shifted to or remains out of step with the rest of the country. All Congressional races are about local issues more than anything else. To my way of thinking, Cantor was a horrible Congressman. Someone who frequently expressed his dislike for Americans and America. I don't think the candidate seeking to replace him will be any better. Time will tell ... if his campaign is successful.
Obviously then you must be out of step with the country. He is a horrible Congressman and his district is out of step with the country for voting him out? Did you think this through?

Where Do you actually disagree with this man ?
Look all around you. We should have thrown nearly every elected official that was around before 2008 out by now. Especially those in leadership positions.

It has nothing to do with being a Republican, it has to do with not rewarding failure.

I think you are forgetting what happened in 2010. The Democrats got their clock cleaned.

This was no close race even and likely seen as anti-Washington protest vote both parties need to take in.it Goes long with local and state house votes last election cycle. where tez Party Anti-Washington candidates did very well.
Dems do not primary out their bad eggs. Never will.
