“He Can’t Win”—How Immigration Reform Patriots Betrayed
Duncan Hunter (And Tom Tancredo)
The dilemma is clear—at least to
me.
Immigration reform patriots can
rock Capitol Hill by
bombarding Congress with faxes, letters, and calls,
but they’re not strong enough to influence a national
election.
I live in the metropolitan
St. Louis and have participated in rallies that
could barely attract a small crowd. Car after car passed
by, the driver hollering in support or offering thumbs
up, but none ever bother to stop to join us or get
further information about what they might do to help.
On the other hand,
people who disagree with us will routinely stop on
the side of the road to engage in fruitless bickering
with strangers.
Too many Americans long ago stopped
thinking of their country as anything but an economic
entity. They haven’t a clue what culture is or what it
means to a nation-state. They don’t know the
significance of borders or the fundamental importance of
national sovereignty. Most just don’t care.
That’s why
Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo never had a chance.
More Americans need to regain their
passion for our nation.
Rice is an IT analyst
working for Washington University School of Medicine. He
describes himself as “an 18th century man
living in a 21st century world.”
