the Hagel-Martinez bill would increase the annual flow of legal immigrants into the U.S. to more than 2 million from roughly 1 million today,

It was a Ted Kennedy bill (Immigration Reform Act) in 1965 that threw out all logic and reason and opened the floodgates by raising our annual legal immigration level to 1 million. Before that we had a well thought out legal immigration program.

Forty years later it is Ted Kennedy's amnesty (aka. guest worker) scheme that the President is so enamored with. Sure, he may throw in a few things to shut conservatives up or fool the most gullible, but at its heart it is still the Kennedy bill.

Why is our immigration policy being set by Ted Kennedy? Is anyone surpised that our immigration situation is such a mess? What insanity possesses the President and the Republican-controlled Senate that they want to pass another Kennedy-designed immigration scheme?

There's a method to Ted's madness. The left has been busy aborting or otherwise avoiding the rearing of its next generation of voters for 30 years. Gay marriage, being sterile, similarly won't up Democrat numbers any. The solution is to import a new Democrat victim and entitlement class to shore up their numbers.

Because GWB and Kennedy are no different. They are cut of the same cloth and only say a few different things to fool us.

Seriously, how are they different?
