Is it just me or is this one of the few times in our history where the general population desperately wants US law to be followed by securing the border yet both parties are opposing the will of the people?

Has the will of the people ever been violated like this before in our history?

Maybe on some social issues like prayer in schools. But this is a much more significant issue. I think it is unprecedented.

Yes, the WTA/WTO and GATT-Uruguay Round 1994 treaty and implementing legislation.

Think back. Remember how it was "fast-tracked"? I spoke with Bob Dole's staff and was told that the phone and fax lines were red hot, over 90% against it, yet they fast-tracked it and jammed it through.

What we are seeing now is not something new - it's a tried and true game plan which has worked well before.
