Q, Amen, lots of bigotry and scare tactics. I think John overestimates the sophistication of the American voter. Easily diverted from substance by scary stories.

Immigration is no more a problem now than it was ten years ago. WHY is it the hot issue today for the Republicans? Because they can't solve Iraq, health care, economy, global warming, etc etc. Americans unite best when they perceive an evil bogeyman in their midst, be it a commie or an Islamofacist, now the Repubs are trying to scare us with the horde of illegals.

Bumper stickers anyone? They're free.
