Frist could be a very good ally in this debate. I for one would be willing to vote for him in 2008 if he got tough on the issue and backed it up by passing a tough law this year.

Same here. I curse the choice between John McCain and Hillary in 2008. I would vote for neither. I don't have a positive opinion of Bill Frist but if he makes a serious tilt to border enforcement then he's serious candidate for me.

Is Bill Frist thinking - "Why let the Democrats game this issue? Why let them steal it"?

I sure hope so. I wish our President would get the message as well.
