Those and others  had no place in a thread about general election results IMO, but what do I know? I'm sure you'll keep them focused. 

The GOP being dishonest about the border situation shouldn't detect from the fact that the GOP has been dishonest about the border situation. GOP party leaders and — in this election cycle anyway — candidates regularly criticize Democrats for being in favor of open borders... even though I think it would be hard to find many Democrats in favor of loosening immigration regulations. Even a fairly partisan poll I saw only had about a third of sitting Democrats in favor of "essentially" open borders. On top of that, illegal aliens account for roughly 3% of the population... but according to the GOP, the crappy economy is largely due to... illegal immigration.

I don't think it's fair to say Republican voters are clueless for being Republican voters, but it is fair to say voters believing illegal immigration is the No. 1 problem facing our country are clueless.
