Republican has almost become a four letter word here in Mexico, which largely sees the GOP as xenophobic and rabidly anti-immigrant. Republican candidates are seen as stepping all over themselves in an attempt to flash their tough on immigration credentials. The great Republican hope though is Sen. John McCain, who defied his party last year by co-sponsoring a broad immigration reform bill.

Analysts here are putting a lot of stock in McCain?s performance tomorrow night in the New Hampshire primary. Ricardo Raphael, a columnist for the El Universal newspaper, writes today that a McCain win would show that ?the xenophobia in our neighboring country has lost a fundamental battle ?On the other hand, if Romney or Giuliani recover their political vigor and manage to get past McCain or Huckabee (the winner of the Iowa primaries), the anti-immigration flag will continue to fly and the very soon it will be the Democratic candidates?that will have to define themselves before the issue.?

If he or the Dems get the White House, are we screwed?
Guys I'm anti-illegal. I was pointing out what those pro-illegals in Mexico want. McCain is a traitor.
I'm on your side.
