LOOKING FOR MIDDLE GROUND IN THE IMMIGRATION DEBATE
Rick,
Thanks for being a refreshing voice of reason, and for highlighting other like viewpoints. While I support the house version, I agree we just need to bargain hard to craft the best possible bill and not destroy ourselves so that we'll be sitting ducks for the Democrats in November. I was especially pleased to see you point out that there were some things in Bush's address that represented some positive movement that we can work with. He did say more than he had about specific border security, such as real fencing, which probably helped get the Sessions amendment through. That's a step in the right direction. The Kyl-Cornyn amendment was probably helped as well, given that it was considered a poison pill before the speech. These developments narrow the differences with the house version and improve our chances of getting a bill that will make a difference. We need to welcome progress when it occurs and encourage them to keep it up.
Ken
