More than 600 conservative-friendly officials and activists are descending on Capitol Hill Tuesday for a lobbying blitz targeting a wide range of House lawmakers, primarily Republicans, on immigration reform.
The effort spans lawmakers from about 120 congressional districts in about 40 states, said Josh Breisblatt, the advocacy and policy associate for the National Immigration Forum.

"REFORM."
"Reform" -- What, exactly? What needs "reforming"?
Immigration enforcement, I say.
To the full letter of the law.
I'm familiar enough with the culture of Mexico (can speak some Spanish, wife was born there) that I realize it's a machismo culture, and if we show any weakness, they'll eat our lunch.
It is therefore imperative that we act from a position of strength. Reform nothing. Enforce the law. To the letter of the law.
They will respect us for it. Yes, it will be painful, and many will have to go back. But they will value citizenship higher, and realize they cannot seize citizenship, they must have it extended to them. By the people.
So sayeth Sauron.
