Tentative deal reached in Senate on enhanced border security "A tentative deal has been reached on border security that would go a long way toward meeting the concerns of nervous GOP Senators and may even convince some Republicans in the House to vote for some kind of immigration reform."
Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal makes this case against the border fence: A fence built along the border with Mexico will stand as a permanent embarrassment to the United States. "The idea of sealing the border with Mexico against illegal entry originated
years ago with citizens in communities in southern Arizona and Southern
California, where violence and murder accompanied illegal crossings. Residents
there were under siege. In time, the desire of these people near the border to
be protected from unlawful cross-border flows was expanded by party activists
beyond a policy goal into a commit-or-die litmus test, like opposing amnesty,
for any Republican presidential candidate. This symbol sits in the middle of the
Senate immigration bill."
My problem is that Democrats want to give the vote to those whose first love is Mexico and who intensely dislike the US. Watch US- Mexico soccer games played in Los Angeles if you need an example. Their first concern is the best interests of America? TD
