My favorite writer, Mark Steyn dishes up (of course) an excellent observation of the collapse and aftermath of the illegal immigration deal in the Senate.
Immigration isn’t going away: Human capital is the great issue facing all advanced societies. But it’s unbecoming for a mature democracy to discuss a critical matter in such a fraudulent way.
