I don't think people understand that the Corker-Hoeven "amendment" is 1190 pages long.

If you haven't read the Corker-Hoeven amendment to the Senate immigration bill, you aren't alone. Congress hasn't read it either. The Gang of Eight and the cosponsors of Corker-Hoeven spent the last couple of days boasting about the amendment, and making promises about what it would do, then Majority Leader Reid sent the Senate home with a 1,000-plus-page reading assignment for the weekend. The text of the amendment wasn't released until Friday afternoon. The Senate votes on Monday. Additional handwritten changes to the amendment have yet to be distributed to every Senator.

This is Senator Schumer's version of "transparency."

I wonder how long it took to write this "amendment." I think we are being played for suckers. Both parties had this drafted and held it for the opportune time to give political cover for more Reps to vote for the bill. First, they had to go thru the contrived theatrics of condemning the bill because it did not do enough for border security and the voila, at the last minute, they come with a "fix" to make the bill sound.

Exactly you don't draft a 1,000 page documents that will be put into U.S. law overnight. Just does not happen. And all the rumors about our guys in dem war rooms aiding in writing law, that is just way over the pale.

We need to do a better job of vetting these clowns and be very careful who we support and who we don't from now on. These clowns need to learn that we can just as easily break them as make them.
