Ignoring History
If you want to know why the Democrats rule California, look no further than Pete Wilson and the Prop 187 fiasco. The immigrant bashing in the mid nineties turned the state Democratic for a generation by turning the state's largest minority group into a solid Democratic voting block.
If you've been watching the national immigration debate, you'll notice the GOP doesn't pay any attention to history. The "round em up and throw em out" led by Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) is pressing ahead and refusing any type of sane compromise. To his credit, President Bush has always taken a realistic stance on the immigration issue, so hopefully he will veto any bill that doesn't include a guest worker plan and path to legalization for the 12 million immigrants that are here already.
One note on Tancredo, hailing from Littleton, CO, maybe he should focus more on gun violence in schools than an issue that probably isn't very relevent to suburban Denver like illegal immigration.
