WashingtonTimes: Nearly a hundred top Republican donors and Bush administration officials sent a letter to the House GOP on Tuesday urging lawmakers to pass a bill that legalizes illegal immigrants, arguing that the current system is already allowing them to stay and so it makes sense to register them and bring them into the system.Hmm, I thought the Bush administration ended about five years ago? Furthermore, didn't we just see a report that explained how illegals actually favor Democrats 8-to-1?! Yes, we did. These guys are full of it. They'll do anything, say anything, to thwart the rule of law. These neo-statists are no better than Democrats...and they're certainly no damn good for the country.
The donors, led by former Bush administration Cabinet officials Carlos Gutierrez and Spencer Abraham, also said that immigrants are potential Republican voters who can be won over — if the party can be seen as welcoming to immigrants.
Jeff Session's plan to flip the immigration debate is certainly a better remedy than Rove's.

We have politicians that want us to be a global citizenry, that don't care about our borders or our sovereignty and don't want to stop illegal immigration. We have people in the Republican leadership that are trying to push this lie that if Republicans would only be welcoming to illegals, they would be able to get their vote. We know historically and also statistically that this hasn't been true - that Republicans who have caved into amnesty haven't beaten the Democrats in elections.
