amnesty for illegals
Like it or not, it’s going to happen. President Bush is going to get exactly what he wanted from the very beginning. Congress authorized a border fence which isn’t even close to being completed. If that doesn’t prompt questions as far as the level of commitment to border enforcement, it should. This is one of the consequences of staying home or voting for Democrats last election. I realize that Republicans didn’t deserve to win, but I also know that a Republican majority would be less likely to cave on this bad immigration reform bill.
We will also find out that this kind of immigration reform doesn’t solve the problem, if we didn’t already realize that from the ‘86 amnesty. How can any candidate be serious about national security if they do not recognize the need to secure our borders? This is a real problem for McCain and Lindsey Graham around here, and it will hurt both of them if this bill passes. McCain must know this. Maybe he just doesn’t care. There’s no virtue in being consistently wrong. I hope he recognizes this, or he’s got bigger problems that he will have to deal with in future debates.

President Bush is the most active Lame Duck in the history of politics.
