"The immigrants were pretty obvious. They were well dressed -- perhaps in the same special outfit worn to their naturalization service. And they were welcomed, asked to join in. This is a message the Republicans cannot match and apparently don't want to match. They are too busy bellowing for a wall."   

You bet your britches we are "bellowing" for a wall. Here in Texas the state pays almost 12 billion a year for "illegal immigrants" who walk across the border because the federal government won't allow us to enforce the immigration laws on the book. That comes out of us taxpayers pocket. Every state needs to step up and start paying their fair share of the "illegal immigration" issue. With the amount of immigrants that cross the border every year, every state in this country needs to start accepting 20,000 undocumented immigrants every year. That way the financial issue is spread out for every one. Then we can talk about how you want to handle the issue.
