The democrats have controled the house for 4 years. What have they done other than talk amnesty?
What did Clinton do?
You party hardliners are the hypocrits because you refuse to hold your own accountable.
Harry Reid is another Democrat that just wants to reward these illegal trespassers. He even went so far as to say that making our nation's language of English "official" was racist.

I always had a feeling Obama would make the illegal situation worse.

Reagan = granted blanket amnesty for illegals
W = called for amnesty
McCain = pushed his amnesty bill in congress that the democrats shot down.

If you support illegals, republicans are on your side!

Kennedy = co-authored an amnesty bill

Majority of Democrats and in particular the Hispanic ones = in favor of amnesty

Obama = definately favors amnesty

If you support illegals, Democrats are on your side!

The Democratic Party appeals to your emotions. Your vote for the Democratic Party is a vote to make America like the Mexico of the PRI. And a vote for the Democratic Party is a vote to undo the great American achievement.

The Republican Party represents everything people come to America for -- and why they left Mexico and other countries: individual opportunity and individual responsibility.

?? Where do you get this? The vast majority do not support amnesty, though most republicans do. Amnesty = cheap labor, good for their big business cronies.

Obama has made absolutely not a single call for amnesty, if anything against it (remember the right's outbust at Obama's speech where he made it clear his health care bill will not include illegals?)
If McCain was in office right now we would have immigration reform, blanket amnesty.

The Health Care bill doesn't include illegals, therefore they are EXEMPT from the "have insurance or pay a fine" proviso, and they STILL get to use ERs as their primary care physicians for free (by not paying their bills). I'd say that's pretty much a "win" for illegals.

Reagan passed the bill allowing anyone to get care at emergency rooms.
