Reply #189: What is so tragic about this situation [View All]

is that Dems, who supposedly represent workers, are running away from this issue as quickly as they can.

Public opinion has been smoldering for quite a while, & the Bush administration, like the Dems,is simply ignoring public opinion.

The Republican voters are against the current policies, & they are getting their message to their members in Congress.

If the Dems were to take up this issue, in a constructive way, proposing some common sense legislation, such as prosecuting employers who are hiring illegals, & providing support for additional resources on the border, something might actually get done. And the party would be recognized as trying to enforce laws & helping workers.

On too many important issues of the day, the Dems remain silent. I don't know if they are without ideas, or they're afraid to step up.
