Apparently, even some of the Dems are coming around!

.."Some Democrats are feeling similar pressure. When the House voted on its get-tough bill that also made illegal immigration a felony, 13 of the 17 Democratic incumbents who face tough races sided with Republicans. "The folks I represent in Georgia are sick and tired of the fact that nothing's been done to stem the tide of illegal immigration," said Rep. John Barrow, who dismissed the Senate bill as "amnesty-light -- no matter what they try to call it." Still, many House Democrats are open to a Senate-style settlement."..

This cuts across party loyalties. The 500,000 illegals in the LA streets flying Mexican flags demonstrated to America that we've just let this go on far too long. It's got to end. We may end up paying more for stuff and a lot of services, but it will be Americans getting the money, and they won't send big chunks of it back to Mexico.
