I was most disappointed to hear him float the canard that "some people are calling for mass deportations." Sounds like some of the real nut-case FReepers when he says that. On FOX News both King of NY and Tancredo of CO knocked that down. Of course there is a middle ground between amnesty and mass deportations. Secure the borders and apply the law to employers. He failed to say word one about the latter.

Yep.

Well, it's over.

If the President gets his way, there will be amnesty by another name and no border wall, or there will be status quo as Congress is unable to agree on a comprehensive bill. Either way, the US border stays effectively open.

Now there is noplace for the BorderBots to go.
You'll either swallow hard and vote for the GOP to keep them in power and preserve the OTHER things you care about (Iraq, taxes, abortion, judges), or you will walk away from them and find a party...or found a party...that represents you.

It will be an individual choice for each BorderBot.

I believe he did address the role of employers. He mentioned that it is currently difficult for employers to verify because of fake i.d.s, etc.

That's when he proposed a more sophisticated form of ID card that can't be faked.

I wish there was something--anything--about tonight's speech that I could point to as real progress and a change in course to stop the invasion of illegal aliens into the United States.

I can't because there wasn't anything.
