The Government Surrenders Our Borders

The immigration bill that's about to be ratified and sent to a willing President is simply a capitulation of our borders. There's no logic to it, it's justr a bunch of senators, McCain being the worst of the lot, who have decided that the whole border security issue is just too difficult and they want the problem to go away. They're also probably thinking of their own political futures if they don't appease the illegals. Some day those illegals will be voting. Perhaps in the next election. Perhaps they already did in the last election. None of them want to be in the group that put even a speed bump in the way of mass immigration.

I had a longer post about this, but Mark Steyn, appearing on Hugh Hewitt's show did such a terrific job analyzing it that I'll just link to the audio clip here.

If you want to take action, Hugh has all the details. Maybe we can beat the idiot senators into a stiffer spine.

What the hurry is to get this lunacy passed is beyond me. I thought we had agreed to build a border fence first. That hasn't been done yet and now we're rushing off to completely change the face of America.

Update: Fred Thompson has a great piece in the National Review blasting this bill.

I called the numbers on Hugh's blog and yelled at the morons in the Senate. Did you?
