The best parts of Kyl/Cornyn were never meant to survive.

Oh, I know. No matter which bill passes (if one does pass,) we're going to get a McCain-Kennedy style amnesty. Bush wouldn't have it any other way.

It should also be noted that Bush will probably pimp "10,000 new border patrol agents" when/if he is pushing Cornyn-Kyl. Don't be fooled. The intelligence overhaul bill that passed in December of 2004 promised the exact same thing, 10,000 more border patrol agents, 2,000 a year for five years. What happened? Bush didn't fund 2,000 new border patrol agents like the bill said he could and that he said he would, instead he funded only 210, barely 10% of what was promised for the first year. Will he do this next year and the year after? Who knows. But it's all doubletalk smoke and mirrors.

Don't let the promise of 10,000 new border patrol agents fool you into supporting the Cornyn-Kyl amnesty, you'll only end up get about 1,000.
