I think the real reason that Washington doesn't really want to tackle immigration reform is that they like to focus on things that can't really be measured for success or failure. They'd much rather pour billions into programs that can't be proven ineffective than into a simple fence that either will work or it won't.
Shalom.
Watch out for post-election aikido moves in the Senate.

I don't think wanting to control the borders of your country against a massive illegal invasion makes you a "neanderthal".
The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
