Look at every endorsement, the media’s fawning. It’s all due to one thing: the desire to push through amnesty for illegal aliens despite the public’s overwhelming opposition.

What else do the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, the Fox News “All Stars,” the “country club Republicans,” Mr. Huckabee and Mr. McCain have in common?

Nothing whatsoever.

The mavens at the Wall Street Journal want the cheap labor. The New York Times simply want more registered Democrats.

The old guard of the GOP are afraid that if they don’t push through amnesty they will lose the Hispanic vote for generations, and thereby never hold the levers of power again.

Consequently, the Republican Solons are even willing to risk suicide today to try to prevent what they perceive as more long term damage. Of course they are wrong, and they will get both instead.

Alas, we are seeing the fruit of all of those celebrated “immigration rights” demonstrations in the streets across the nation last summer.

And it probably spells the end of the Republican Party, and perhaps even our republic as we know it.
