#2 If I were a total cynic, I would encourage Barak to push Amnesty. That policy is even less popular than Obamacare (75% against vs 60%).

Obama and the liberals think that the votes they lose in Arizona will be made up by Latino votes in the other states. However, as this article hints, Latinos on the firing line do not want psychotic murderers, kidnappers etc. pouring over our borders.

I predict that, if Obama keeps pushing this, he will cost the dems an additional 5-10 seats in the House plus cost Boxer her job.

#3 On the other hand, Perry has seen his Latino support plummet and his double-digit lead over Democratic challenger and Houston Mayor Bill White all but vanish since the Arizona controversy began.

So now Rick Perry is in trouble because the demographics have shifted against him? These stupid Republicans are just as much to blame as Obama and they will have only themselves to blame when they find themselves in California type situations where it's impossible for them to win. They knew what was happening all along and they acquiesced to it. They shot themselves in the foot.

They're politicians, 3dc. Usually not at the top of the intelligence scale to begin with. The phrase 'One Sandwich Short of a Picnic' springs to mind.

More B.S. I voted druing the Primaries here in Texas. The number of people voting Republican in my precinct out numbered the Dimrats 5 to 1. There are a lot of anti-Dimrat voters and that hasn't stopped one bit. Perry will be re-elected Governor in November.

#7 He's pretty worried about accommodating illegals that can't even vote, and wouldn't be able to for years even if they were given amnesty. He's already got the latino vote in his pocket, why all the nose-to-arse? Or is this just something he thinks he can get a 'win' out of?
I wish he'd show that much interest in creating better conditions for the growth of jobs for legal citizens.

#8 " Perry has seen his Latino support plummet and his double-digit lead over Democratic challenger and Houston Mayor Bill White all but vanish"

Are all these people being polled citizens? "Latino support" might include people who aren't even eligible to vote. You think those polling outfits ask to see someone's papers before they ask their opinion? I wouldn't worry too much about poll numbers in the media. The only poll number that matters is on election day.

Of course, with mail-in ballots, practically anyone can vote as many times as they want.

We need to get rid of mail-in general voting and enforce showing up at a polling station with valid ID. US election procedure would not pass muster in any other country in the world.
