Look, kick Cannon if you want, but I suspect neither you nor I will ever know as much about immigration as - (I seem to recall he was) - the former chair of the Immigration Committee. I haven't written any books about immigration - maybe you have. I'm saying Jacob is, well, frankly, nuts. There needs to be a little bit of reality brought into what's at stake here. If CC has ever drifted from "The Path," I suspect it is because of LDS doctrine that I, a Methodist, will never understand. His ACU rating is, however, unassailable. "Chris For Congress."

I "know" more about the Senate bill than some Senators, because I read the bill and many pro-amnesty Senators were saying things that bespoke ignorance (or deceit) about what was in the bill. Stuff that just wasnt so. But ...
It's not about knowledge, it's about the willingness to pursue certain policies to defend our immigration law. It's about whether we want an open borders system or controlled immigration. We know we can have a successful immigration policy that keeps illegals out, lets legal immigration.
This is no more complicated than what kind of zoning laws you want for your town. You dont need to be an expert architect to know if basic zoning laws are being ignored, and you dont need to be a master builder to decide whether you want them enforced.
Cannon cast his lot with Howard Berman and Ted Kennedy to create an open borders and legalize-the-illegals policy.
It's wrong. You think he knows a lot about immigration? Kennedy is being every bad thing that ever happened to immigration policy, yet he saddles up to Kennedy. Whatever he knows, its not enough to keep him from being very wrong on the issue.
