The returns news continues to be bad for Republicans...
Hispanic voters punish Republicans in US elections
ReutersPHOENIX, Arizona, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Hispanic voters irked by the Republican hard line on immigration policy turned out in force and helped Democrats win in U.S. congressional elections, according to exit polls and analysts.
Democrats won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in Tuesday's elections, and clinched control of the Senate by a 51-49 majority when a final race was decided on Thursday.
Exit polls showed more than two-thirds of Hispanics voted for Democrats in House races, while just 27 percent voted for Republicans.
Latino activists said many were revved up to support Democrats by a GOP pledge to crack down on illegal immigration and build stretches of wall along the Mexico border.
The policy was crafted to reach out to core conservative voters. But along with widespread concern at President George W. Bush's handling of the Iraq war, it triggered a backlash among Latino voters.
"(Treating) immigration as a wedge issue dealt a double whammy to the Republican Party" at the polls, said Clarissa Martinez, the director of state policy for the National Council of La Raza activist group.
"It didn't work as a strategy with the broader electorate, and it actually had the effect of driving Latinos away from the Republican party," she added.

Does anybody think Congress will even address this problem ( is it really a problem? ) in the next 2 years?
I see where the Repugs are refusing to care for illegal immigrants babies:
November 2, 2006
"U.S. Tightens Medicaid Rules for Babies of Illegal Immigrants
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 — Under a new policy, children born in the United States to undo ented immigrants with low incomes will no longer be automatically en led to health insurance through Medicaid, federal officials said today.
Doctors and hospitals said the policy change would make it more difficult for such infants, who are United States citizens, to obtain health care needed in the first year of life."

Denying US baby citizens is the Repugs' practice of Compassionate Conservatism?
It's just the Repugs pandering to their radical right base. If denying babies medical care is what it takes to re-elect Repugs, then get it done. Throw them babies under the bus along with 3000 dead US military, anything to win elections.
Yo, dumbass, show me when illegal aliens became 'US citizens'.Denying US baby citizens is the Repugs' practice of Compassionate Conservatism?
You know what you need? You need a warm cup of shut the up.
"show me when illegal aliens became 'US citizens'."
such infants, who are United States citizens,
AHF demolished yet again, as easy as shooting Aggies in a toilet
These babies sure as should not be citizens. If the parents are illegal, why should their offspring not be?
I just love the people who are for letting everyone one into this country. "Hey!! Come one, come all...let the rest of America support you."
This is going to bring this country to its knees in the next few decades.

hehe...
whassamatter?
racist white = M-I-N-O-R-I-T-Y
Nope. I've got no problem with ANYONE here legally. It's the illegals I don't like. Get in line like everyone else assholes.
I also HATE the assholes who hire illegals. They are the BIGGEST problem. I suggest deporting them as well.
PS. My sister-in-law is hispanic...nice try on the race card though...toolbox.
Illegal......

Ditto
exactly.
The thing is, if you say you're against illegal immigration, you're seen as a racist.
Eh, no.
I'm against illegal immigration. http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthre...ration+Article
When you spout off the word " " because legal hispanic US citizens helped kick out the GOP and you don't like that, you come off as a racist.
Hey, how about following the thread. I'm not referring to the vote asshat.
Hey, how about staying on topic then, asshat.
If this were law... I tell you, America would have NO problem with illegal immigration... people want to point the finger at the illegal alien themselves... which is part of the problem, yes...
Supply and demand....
I like you, AHF, but you put your foot all the way down your eso us with this one
Then get the law changed.
If the parents are illegal, why should their offspring not be?
Great logic. Children should be paying for their parent's crime? Next time a dude steals money from a bank, let's put his children in jail too.
I just love the people who are for letting everyone one into this country. "Hey!! Come one, come all...let the rest of America support you."
As long as the US is so damm rich compared to the rest of it's neighboring countries, this will continue to happen. Build a wall, put more border police, bring the National Guard, even shoot the desperate people looking for a better life. It will not stop them from happening.
Why? Because WASPs will no longer be the majority?This is going to bring this country to its knees in the next few decades.
True, those Latinos everything up. Even America . . .
Hey dumbass, how about reading the entire thread. After Dan's post, it went into talking about illegals. Idiot.
As usual, people have to break it down to "Those damn mexicans are ing everything up!" This isn't about race, this is about the rest of the LEGAL US residents continually having to support illegals. Do YOU like paying to support people in this country illegally?
Why? Because WASPs will no longer be the majority?
True, those Latinos everything up. Even America . . .
As you said, until the US stops hiring illegals, this problem will never go away. I don't fault people trying to better their lives but for s sake can you get in line like everyone else?
Is this another version of the "but some of my best friends are Black" defense?
Get in line for what? There are not enough temporary work visas to accommodate all the jobs that are available to immigrants. So you have people wanting to hire immigrants and immigrants who need the job, but there is no way for them to obtain legal employment authorization.
Then get the law changed.
