The Heritage Foundation is one of our Nations most august and respected institutions that deals with public policy. They have been engaged in major issues for several decades. They say this on their Web site: Working behind closed doors for months. a handful of Democrat and Republican staffers. along with a few Senators and principals from the administration. have been drafting a "comprehensive immigration reform package. Until Saturday morning. the legislation was unavailable to any other Senator or staff. let alone the media. policy analysts. or the general public. This legislation would be the most significant reform of immigration policy in 40 years. affecting not only our national security and homeland defense but the fiscal. economic. and social future of the United States for several generations. For the sake of open deliberation and public education. the Heritage Foundationwhich got a copy of the bill somehowis making this legislation in draft form publicly available to encourage widespread debate and discussion. Well. thank goodness they did make it public. but who knew they had it on their Web site?
