Anything you give the little mouse is going to lead to a newer and bigger request. That is what it must feel like to Speaker of the House BOEHNER with his nativist wing of his party. If you give them 30.000 more border patrol guards. Mr. Speaker. they are going to ask you for more deportation. If you give them a record number of deportations. they are going to ask the Speaker for a vote to more quickly deport vulnerable children. If you give them the vote for quicker deportation of children. they will demand a vote to deport all DREAMers who have permission to work in the United States legally700.000. And if you give them a vote on deporting DREAMers. they will ask for a hearing on amending the Constitution to eliminate birthright citizenship. That is what the mouse will do. He will change the Constitution of the United States. And then at some point they will demand that every single reference to anything related to immigrants without papers. even a research project. be declared an amnesty and stripped from legislation. If you give a mouse a cookie. he is going to want some milk. Mr.
