Bachmann’s grade (the B- I think you’re referencing, although correct me if I’m wrong) is based off of stated positions from Minnesota. It’s not like there’s anything to be risked by talking tough next to Canada. She hasn’t introduced any legislation to curtail illegal immigration herself, although I applaud her for at least publicly talking the talk.
It's like, we're not in imminent danger of being overrun by millions of feral beavers bearing undocumented donuts from Tim Horton's, eh?
Cheers!
