It reminded me. sitting here. of Will Rogers. He once said: Its net what they knew that bothers me. its what they say they know for sur that just aint so. I am listening to this. and I am hearing. first of all. we have border security in this bill. We are going to beef up border security. We have it fixed. Then I hear this: We have to have a guest worker provision. We have to have temporary workers come in because: One way or another those immigrants are coming across the border. You try to close that door. it is not going to work. This from the people who wrote the bill. Two of them have said it. It seems to me what they are saying is we cant stop illegal immigration so lets try to figure out who is coming across and call them legal. That is what this looks like to me. Let me say it again.
