USA Today reports: "Border security is the essential first step of any effort to enact immigration reform. Only when we have convinced the American people of our commitment to securing our borders will we be able reach a consensus on comprehensive immigration reform," Frist said in a statement.
Does this mean that they finally get it?? Or is this an election year maneuver...
Democrats are likely to try to block the bill. They may try to attach the comprehensive immigration bill the Senate passed in May as an amendment and push debate into next week. A delay could be a problem as Congress tries to wrestle with legislation addressing treatment of terrorism suspects.
OF COURSE the libs are going to try to defeat it and/or block it!
Truthfully, I don't really care what reasoning it took to get our legislators to this point...I am just glad to see them finally....FINALLY...willing to do something about this crisis...living in a border state has made me aware of the issues long ago, but I know that ya'll are feeling the effects of it now, too...
