Strangely, the John McCain for President campaign worker that feels it’s best to send six or seven emails on one single debate hasn’t bothered sending out praise to the Arizona senator today. I wonder why.

It’s not just McCain, of course, but his fingerprints are firmly on the document.

In the interest of compromise, what exactly were the positions where compromise needed to be met?

One extreme: Deport all illegals, fence the border and imprison any illegals who refuse to leave.

The other extreme: Open all borders and ask anyone and everyone to stream into this nation.

So the compromise was to, in essense, grant amnesty to anyone who already broke the law of the land and construct a fence of some kind. What exactly did the open-border advocates give up other than a fence? A fence for 12 million plus granted amnesty, plus the additional millions who hear this news and decide now is the time to cross the Rio Grande? It is, and they will and I don’t blame them at all.

However based on numerous polls, the American people fall much closer to the deport all extreme than the open border extreme, and that assumes, of course, those who are polled are actually legal residents anyways. So who exactly are the open-border advocates in Congress who simply fleeced the other side? It’s bound to be a very small minority who have now given right to run the government as they see fit.

McCain though, loves the bill that will most likely be pushed through before the American people can take a gander at it. He’s toast, but he was toast long before anyways.

On the national security front, the U.S. immigration service cannot even figure out how to ensure the current law is enforced.  Three of the Fort Dix Six were here illegally, yet INS couldn’t figure it out.  Now they’ve got at least 12 million more people on their rolls to hash through, so in the addition to every other illegal immigrant that will be flooding over in the next six months, this would be a prime time for any terrorist group to make the same journey.  Why not?  The INS’s hands are full.
