Rep. Chris Cannon, who along with Sen. Orrin Hatch is proposing federal legislation that would help children of undocumented immigrants get into U.S. colleges, says the answer to immigration's problems is not to boot out all those who illegally entered the country

Between these two Utah congress critters and the Smarts you have to wonder about what's in the water in Utah.

How many undocumented illegal aliens actually live in Utah?

Seems like these Sens want to stick it to other states, particularly California, who are at the forefront of the Mexican immigration problem.

But the larger question is: why should we cave in on a 3-year amnesty for illegals as Bush has allegedly proposed just to get Mexico's vote on a war we are going to wage anyway? Was it that important for us to get UN backing? No, it was important for Tony Blair.

So the upshot is: we were evidently willing to give amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in our country from Mexico because Labour backbenchers in the British Parliament were giving Tony Blair a hard time.

What a hell of a world we live in.
