Actually, the House wants to make it a felony. That's why we're having the marches and hyperbole.

And this was dumb, dumb, dumb. Until this House bill, I didn't think that the Rats had a ghost of a prayer of winning the House this year. Now I'm not so sure. This is bad policy, and even worse politics.

Think all those illegals in the marches thought maybe, just maybe, that bill came about because too many of them (and too quickly) disregarded our laws and sovereignty? Nah me neither.

That's possible. It's also possible it will trigger a "DUH!!!" moment in the public, who assumed all the time that being here illegally was a serious crime. We're now being told it's the equivalent of a 25 in a 20 zone ticket.

Every poll I've seen says the public is behind strong border controls, including a fence.
