Border Security=Immigrant Legislation

Bill Frist said today that in his view "no comprehensive immigration reform could be passed" in the three weeks congress has left before they begin campaigning for the Nov. Mid-terms. He outlined a sharp division that arose between the Senate who put forward a more all inclusive legislative package and the House which favored a comprehensive bill only after the issue of Border Security has been dealt with first.

Political Opinion Alert: Bill Frist and representatives like Tom Tancredo have it right. There is no immigration reform without border enforcement first. Honestly no matter what side of the "Illegal" issue you come down on, there is no argument about whether or not we should secure our borders. Neither is there any point in giving 12,000,000 non-citizens what amounts to almost complete amnesty before the source of the problem gets handled. In reality there is nothing comprehensive about the senate bill since it does very little if anything at all to address the massive exodus of mexican citizens over our South Western borders. A tough border security bill first to stop the bleeding. Then by all means, treat those already in this country fairly according to our laws and values as americans. Our governments failure to deal with this a decade ago has resulted in this problem being what it is today.
