Good find and it will be over in 20 in a couple of weeks.
Folks need to understand that this has nothing to do with immigration. I agree with the notion of kicking the illegals out and am for deporting
them, so I'm a hardliner on this topic.
This rising sentiment is about the American people being unwilling to support and accept a failing and incompetent federal government any longer.
This has been brewing for a long time and it was going to be one issue to ignite it and one person to stand in the fray to be the first. Immigration
is easy to understand. People out of work and illegals taking thier jobs is easy. People pushing foreign cultures down the throats of folks is
easy to understand. People have had enough. They have had enough with the pure inability of the federal government to solve any problems. The
foreign policy is adrift, the feds are passing major legislation against the will of the people. The feds are out of touch.
This will be the defining issue of the decade. It has the potential to undercut incumbants and will bleed out into all spheres of the society. Can
the federal government solve our problems? The answer is no and this immigration is all about folks standing on principal on one issue that is easy
to understand and force that issue.
Either way, this is either the first step in a new era of federalism in this country or the death of it.
