There's a HUGE split among Republicans on immigration. The working stiff Republicans see foreigners as threatening their jobs and their pay grade. The employer Republicans see actually doing anything about illegal immigration and restricting legal immigration as threatening the cheap labor they have enjoyed for years. It's a real conundrum for their leadership, so far, they do nothing. They need the working stiff votes, but they need the employer bucks. What to do? Where should the Dems be on this? It's simple, they should strongly support limited legal immigration for those our country needs and come out HARD against illegals. Insist that employers that hire illegals raise their pay enough to attract Americans - If you've got to pay a guy 20/hr to pick fruit - that's what the job is worth. Make it a jail offense to hire illegals. That alone would win them millions of working stiff votes in Red states and elsewhere.

This is why we can't act through the U.N. and why the Security Council is a piece of shit.... Russia Spies Operated in Iraq Through 2003 news.yahoo.com By MIKE ECKEL, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 40 minutes ago MOSCOW - Russia had a military intelligence unit operating in Iraq up through the 2003 U.S. invasion and fall of Baghdad, a Russian analyst said Friday as the Pentagon reported Moscow fed Saddam Hussein's government with intelligence on the American military. ADVERTISEMENT Iraqi documents released as part of the Pentagon report asserted that the Russians relayed information to Saddam through their ambassador in Baghdad during the opening days of the war in late March and early April 2003, including a crucial time before the ground assault on Baghdad.
