New Yoork Times has a must read on McCain and Brownack's adventures here in the heart of whitest Iowa, and how Iowa Republicans only want to talk about one thing:
On Saturday morning in Des Moines, Mr. Brownback stood for 30 minutes at a breakfast with Republicans as question after question — without exception — was directed at an immigration system that Iowans denounced as failing. “These people are stealing from us,” said Larry Smith, a factory owner from Truro and a member of the central committee of the state Republican Party.
Finally, Mr. Brownback, with a slight smile, inquired, “Any other topics that people want to talk about?”
“What are you going to do with illegal immigrants who come here and become criminals?” demanded Jodi Wohlenhaus, a Republican homemaker who lives outside Des Moines.
If you read about the ideas of the ultra wealthy Rev Moon of the Unification Church and his influence on conservative politics you'll see a connection. He ironically is very anti-immigrant. The Iowa GOP is very much prone to repeating his beliefs. I wonder if they are aware of it.
