Immigration and Democrats

With regard to the immigration issue, Lou Dobbs and many other pundits have been asking the question, why not just secure the border first. The proposed immigration bills have generally attempted to resolve the many difficult issues all at once. I have been saying the same thing for months, just secure the border, it's a security issue (which could help the GOP)and most Americans agree that the border is a vulnerability. The Democrats should covertly attempt to rally immigration protests. My guess is that the GOP does not even want to deal with border security because it brings attention to the issue of amnesty, worker program, etc. So long as the Democrats do not appear to be supporting the movement (which they do not), the GOP will take losses for having the amnesty issue in the news. If we do not win at least one house, the embarrassment will be destructive and it will be because the D's will not exploit this issue. It's not policy kids, it's politics!!!
