Gambling legality is acheived at the state/local level, not at the federal level where you gain immigration legality. I don't see the relation that you imply.

You're the only one here who believes that there is no federal role in Internet gambling. On that topic, how's the fight to get Internet gambling sites licensed in any state going? I recall you were taking that on. Any action plan yet, or is it just easier to put everyone else down while doing nothing?

You know I didn't say that and don't have that belief, so why say I do?

I am sorry, are most of you guys Mexican or something? I didn't vote as I see absolutely no connection.

The only effect is the likely trainwreck effect on GOP support amongst Latino-Americans (aside from Cuban-Americans, perhaps) as the rhetoric has been and will continue to be pretty xenophobic from the Tancredo wing. To the extent that this makes Dem control in '08 more likely, it's positive, but the effect is marginal, I feel.
