Oh, cut me a break. A few RINOs are siding with the Dems in the Senate, and the House has passed a security-first bill already. Bush is working with the Dems and RINOs to hamstring conservatives here. Quit pretending otherwise.
My idea of meaningful legislation is to incorporate the Border Patrol into the Coast Guard, rename the Coast Guard something inane like The Gatekeepers and expand their purview from the coasts to the north and south borders.
The rest is all garbage. Simpson/Mazzoli already has the requisite power of law to deal with employers and illegals. And those laws have been ignored for 20 years.
What is new law going to do? Nothing of course.
