This polarizes the debate, in and outside the beltway, and it may unnerve hesitant senators who side with the president but fear spitting into what they see as the prevailing political wind. Sure hope so, at least that's the plan.

I'm afraid it will take another 9/11 before we truly get serious about protecting our borders. God forbid that it should happen, but if terrorists strike after easy access through our southern border, these idiot politicians now opposed to a wall will be trying to outdo everyone else's wall, by making theirs taller, thicker, stronger, etc.

Agreed. The border fence should have been put up the day after 9/11.

....nice how these chowder heads call people in the GOP who are pro law enforcement "hardliners".
"unrealistic laws"?
Is that what sovereignty is called nowadays?

"Democrats railed against the legislation, standing up, member after member, to defend our tradition as a nation of immigrants."
Liberals are for illegal immigration and balkanization. Conservatives are for legal immigration and integration. And, yes, there are liberal republicans.

I'm really getting tired of Tamar Jacoby.
I think what he really meant to say was this:
The majority of GOP voters, including those who don't live in gated communities outside DC, those who slave away at jobs every day just to make a living, and those who actually have to compete with illegals for jobs, do not speak for the GOP. Instead, Washington elites who are detached from reality and only concerned with pleasing business allies speak for the GOP.

A GOP which refuses to protect our sovereignty is worthless; we may as well have a democrat in office, or leave it open and place ourselves in the custody of the UN.

If the hard liners don't speak for the GOP, then the GOP doesn't speak for me!

If Tamar jacoby is what passes for a moderate Republican these days, then I will proudly declare myself an extremist.

And yet again trying to confuse the issues of legal versus illegal immigration.
To: Reaganwuzthebest
If a hardliner is someone opposed to ILLEGAL immigration, then I must be a super hardliner. I am also opposed to burglary, larceny, rape, and Rats.

It is hard to give the author(s) much credence as they confuse legal immigration and illegal immigration throughout.
