Mark K. — You say that:

… every single time another illegal alien is discovered on a taxpayer-funded construction crew … the GOP gets to attack the Dem leadership and the White House for stripping out the measure that could have prevented that from happening.

Sorry, pal, but you’re dreaming. There are very few in the GOP who would walk into the multi-culti propellor like that, to spend the rest of their political careers with HEARTLESS NATIVIST branded across their foreheads. There are few now, and in two or five years there will be none. Do you really not know how “diversity”-whipped our political classes are?

Our government is a government of the whole world. Its bounty must be showered on everyone. Once we start discriminating (EEEEK!) in favor of U.S. citizens, the re-introduction of race slavery, lynch law, child labor, and male-only suffrage will inevitably and speedily follow. Doesn’t everybody know this? Gotta get with the zeitgeist, Mark.
