Is A Bush-Pelosi Amnesty Ahead?
By Patrick J. Buchanan
With the resignation of Republican National Committee Chair Ken
Mehlman, President Bush intends to fill the post with Florida's Mel
Martinez, a Hispanic who led the battle in the U.S. Senate for amnesty
for illegal aliens.
"Martinez is going to lead the fight for amnesty that Bush could not
win when Republicans controlled the Congress," one angry RNC member
told The Washington Times' Ralph Hallow. [ Florida's Martinez tapped
for RNC chief, November 14, 2006]
Unable to extract an amnesty bill from Denny Hastert and Co. in the
House like the McCain-Kennedy bill he supports, Bush is looking to cut
a deal with San Francisco Nancy.
Amnesty is to be the Bush legacy, and Martinez is to be the face of the
party on the most explosive domestic issue of our era.
For that, GOP precinct workers walked the line to hold Congress for the
party.
Bush and Karl Rove still have not gotten the message, and probably
never will. They have swallowed the Wall Street Journal and Weekly
Standard line that the party's tough stance against illegal immigration
hurt with Hispanics and only a "comprehensive" immigration bill can
heal the wounds. "Comprehensive" is the code word for amnesty.
But Bush and Rove are misreading the returns as badly as they misread
the country when they predicted the GOP would hold onto both chambers.
Let's have another look at those returns.
According to NumbersUSA, while Republicans lost 11.5 percent of their
House seats, or one in nine, the Immigration Caucus of Tom Tancredo,
the House hawks, lost 6.7 percent of its complement, only one in 16.
Among Republicans given an "F" by immigration hawks, however, fully 25
percent lost their re-election bids, a bloodbath among the
open-borders-and-amnesty-now crowd.
It was Bush's War and Republican scandals that lost America, not the
party's stand on border security and immigration.
Imitation, it is said, is the sincerest form of flattery. Thus it is a
testament to the popular appeal of the stop-the-invasion stand that
Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton voted for 700 miles of security fence.
Indulging in their favorite pastime, cherry-picking evidence, the
neocons claim that the losses in Arizona by Rep. J.D. Hayworth and
Randy Graf, both hardliners, prove that Arizona and America reject a
law-and-order approach to illegal immigration.
Yet Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, a hardliner, won re-election easily.
More significant, Arizonans voted in landslides on Nov. 7 to deny bail
to illegal aliens, to bar them from receiving any punitive damages in
lawsuits and make English the state language. Among Latinos, 48 percent
voted to make English the official language, just as, two years ago, 47
percent voted to cut off all welfare to anyone who could not prove he
or she was in the country legally.
Latinos are patriots, too. They don't like their country's laws
trampled on with impunity or their tax dollars going to support
scofflaws, no matter their nationality.
Why did Graf lose? Jim Kolbe, the GOP congressman whom Graf chased out
of the race, refused to endorse him, and Mehlman's RNC gutted him in
the primary.
The neocons also point to the fall-off in the Hispanic vote for the
GOP, from 38 percent in 2002 to 30 percent in 2006, and attribute the
drop-off to calls for a border fence. Yet far more serious was the
fall-off among white voters, whose support, as Steve Sailer of
VDARE.com points out, fell from 58 percent in 2002 to 51 percent.
The relevant truth: The GOP vote fell 7 or 8 percent among all voters.
But the seven-point plunge among white voters is more ominous than the
eight-point drop among Hispanics.
Why? Because the white vote in America, 80 percent of the electorate,
is 13 times as large as the Hispanic vote, which accounts for only 6
percent of all voters. It is the defection of its white vote that is
killing the GOP.
The Reagan Democrats are going home.
If Bush and Rove think they can win them back with amnesty and a
guest-worker program that out-sources immigration policy to K Street,
they will end up doing for the national party what Gov. George Pataki
did for it in New York.
Had Bush made border security and less immigration a dividing issue
with the Democrats, fewer GOP lawmakers would be working on their
resumes.
That Democrats are more aware of this than Rove is apparent, as one
reads the astonishing story in The Washington Post headlined, "
Democrats May Proceed With Caution on Immigration: Explosive Issue Not
a Top Priority for Incoming Leaders." (by Darryl Fears and Spencer S.
Hsu, November 13, 2006).
The reporters summarized Democratic thinking thus:
"In the days after the election, Democratic leaders surprised
pro-immigration groups by not including the issue on their list of
immediate priorities. Experts said the issue is so complicated, so
sensitive and so explosive that it could easily blow up in the
Democrats' faces and give control of Congress back to Republicans in
the next election two years from now. And a number of Democrats who
took a hard line on immigration were also elected to Congress."
After being named RNC chair, Mehlman headed straight to the NAACP
convention—to apologize for the Nixon-Reagan strategy that gave the GOP
the presidency in five of six straight elections.
And how has all that pandering availed Mehlman and Rove and George W.
Bush?

John Lennon's song, "Imagine," the anthem of the Security and Prosperity
Partnership of North America and run Yoko Ono for President against Hillary
Clinton in 2008.

Mel is only answering the wishes of his traitorous Commander in Chief and
his New World Order scheme.
There will be no more US but the North American Confederacy which will
comprise Canada,Mexico and the former US.We have been warning America for
20+ years of this fact ,now it is a reality nobody wants to admit but it is
here unless We the People decide otherwise

With everybody wanting to live in south Florida, it would be so nice
if Cuba could become free again, it would be a nice place to invest
in and to buy cheap property.
I wonder what would happen to real estate in Florida, if people could
suddenly go further south and get a much better deal.
What is so wrong with a rich, prosperous and secure North America?
Wouldn't we all be better off? You xenophobes are all so strange.

Why is Pat Buchanan so politically correct?
By "illegal" he really just means "Mexican".
He should just come out and say it,
lift up the white hood and face the world head on.

Why are you so hung up on Mexicans?
It's not a matter of PC, as people insult Mexicans all the time. It's a
matter of accuracy.
A little over half of the illegals are latino and about 75% of those
are Mexican.

Accoring to that, Mexicans are then the largest group in the "illegals"
discussion.
Why are you so hung up on avoiding that fact?
