Usually, Republican administrations are known for being tough on crime, pro-law and order. Yet, the Bush administration is about to reward lawbreakers for their lawlessness.
This political miscalculation could be costly. Why? The administration is rushing — quietly — to give illegal aliens from Mexico Social Security benefits. Reportedly, the administration wants to seal the deal this month.
A few questions the GOP may wish to consider: Does anybody remember that senior citizens vote more faithfully than any other demographic group? Does anybody remember that the 65 and older demographic is growing? Does anybody remember that Social Security is the "third rail of American politics" — touch it and die? Does anybody remember the days when Democrats hammered Republicans for "robbing Social Security" (even though Democrat administrations and Democrat Congresses perfected the spending Social Security Trust Fund monies on other things)?
