Democrats To Throw Open the Country to Illegals

Thanks to the GOP giving voters few if any reasons to vote for them in November, much of the good work done on the illegal immigration front will be overturned by the incoming Dems:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25 — Counting on the support of the new Democratic majority in Congress, Democratic lawmakers and their Republican allies are working on measures that could place millions of illegal immigrants on a more direct path to citizenship than would a bill that the Senate passed in the spring.

The lawmakers are considering abandoning a requirement in the Senate bill that would compel several million illegal immigrants to leave the United States before becoming eligible to apply for citizenship.

The lawmakers are also considering denying financing for 700 miles of fencing along the border with Mexico, a law championed by Republicans that passed with significant Democratic support.

Any "Republican allies" that would support these measures should be targeted for replacement in '08 if possible, or as soon as they face reelection.
