No Amnesty for Senators

National Review Online

John McCain dismisses critics of the immigration bill by saying that what we have today is a “de facto amnesty.” He’s right. The status quo reflects Washington’s decades-long unwillingness to enforce the immigration laws. It is that track record that has made the public justifiably skeptical about politicians’ latest round of promises about border and workplace enforcement. According to a Rasmussen poll taken earlier this week, by a three to one margin voters think that the government should enforce its current laws before considering new ones.
