Listened to Krauthammer on Fox earlier. He had a couple of observations. He believes that many who oppose the McCain-Kennedy bill would be a little more disposed to support it if we were serious about stopping the flow of illegals. His suggestion, build a fence 10, 15, 20 feet, whatever it takes from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean.

I agree... It's just that we all know that if we give what is in effect amnesty with a promise to close the border later that they will never get around to closing the border. So close the damn border first.

My own Congressman, Lamar Smith (R-TX) has been giving that same advice for some time. Basically, we cant trust the amnesty/guest worker programs, so just do the enforcement stuff *first*, get it locked into place and *then* deal with the complexities of new visa programs etc. .. he even gave it as a fax direct to Karl Rove, we know because it accidently got sent to a Democrat somewhere and ended up on the internet!
