Here's Tony's view..
"I'm getting a lot of heat for positions I haven't taken. I'll recap. I've said from the start that we shouldn't rush this. The awful bill before the Senate is a good reason why. I've said we need to get the practical stuff ironed out -- such as why we ought to trust a government that isn't enforcing the present law to enforce the new one. I've said that we need to get our facts straight: There's a lot of bogus "information" swirling around on both sides of the issue. So please don't mistake me for a rubber-stamp guy. Contrary to popular opinion, I want to get this right."
I feel the same. In my opinion we don't need additional legislation. We have plenty on the books right now. We just need to enforce our existing laws. If we're not enforcing our existing laws, who's fault is that?
If folks have a problem with that view they might want to rethink their position.
We need to stop the bleeding. Close the border off. It can be done...all that is required is the political will.
Then the administration needs to do what it has signally failed to do: enforce the laws against hiring illegal aliens.
On those things it seems we agree.
But, I read Tony's article a few days ago. If he is backing away from what he said there, hallelujah!
However, the bitterness in my mouth about what he wrote is not going to disappear just because he says he was misunderstood.
I think it was quite clear what he was saying.
