"It reflected the values and views consistently expressed by this president while still reaching out to those who want strict border enforcement."

This sales job of an idea, in this case, tells you nothing of the substance proposed to implement the idea.

Try this for starters, and keep in mind that Durbin's amendment, among the 399 others in the bill, will replace all existing immigration judges with new positions to be filled only by lawyers who have been working as legal advocates for immigrants - fox in the henhouse.

Start here, for the wonderful comprehensiveness of the bill:

And then there's the Dream Act.

Hidden Bombs (Extremely Important Article on Immigration)

The second nasty surprise? Just before the committee approved the bill on the evening of March 27, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) offered the "DREAM Act" as an amendment. It passed on a voice vote.

The DREAM Act is a nightmare. It repeals a 1996 law that prohibits state universities from offering in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. The principle, of course, is that no illegal alien should be entitled to receive a taxpayer-subsidized benefit that out-of-state U.S. citizens can't get. But the committee's bill allows illegals to be treated better than those U.S. citizens on tuition.
