There you go again -- when you got beaten on the policy debate, you subtly change it to a "look at the record" debate.

We all know, from many discussions about Thompson's record, that his Senate legacy isn't in what bills he sponsored or backed, but rather the bad legislation he stopped or altered. Next, you'll trot out the tired "research" from Numbers USA which conflate legal with illegal immigration and distort the context or meaning of other votes.

Thompson's position is strong and clear: Secure the borders. No to amnesty or the stupid "Z-visa" ruse. Enforce the law.

I'm sure we'll be hearing more specifics in the next few months.

Fair enough. What did he stop or alter during the 1996 debate on the omnibus immigration bill?

Fantastic post, Kevkrom!

Enforce the law.

Unfortunately many Congress critters prefer to pass more laws, spend more money, create more departments, rather than just enforcing what is on the books and then assess where we are at. That’s why I’m not that enamored by life time politicians becoming the President.
