Immigration Bill.

Defeated. Good. Now can we get on with securing our borders? Not hermetically sealing the borders with electrified saran wrap, but ensuring the country's security and safety for everyone, citizens and immigrants. Sheesh. The USA can't secure their own borders yet criticizes the fledgling democracy in Iraq and the surrounding countries for not doing more to secure that mess? And how about some honest support for the border patrol who are putting their lives on the line every day; some of whom are being jailed unfairly for doing their jobs. There's plenty of compassion available for those illegally in the USA once the border is secured.

Fixing the mess is not done through 300+ page bills crafted in secrecy and rammed through without equal vigor being placed to securing the border. The government bureaucracy has already shown that they are challenged when trying to walk and chew gum at the same time. So now, let's make it easy for them. Step one, secure the borders. Then send in the report card that you actually cleaned the vegetables off of your plate, so we can then go on to step two of considering new initiatives about immigration.
