It's nothing more than a means for Freedom-Haters to infect Pubs with Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome

I haven't doen much posting about the immigration push and the Gang of Eight.  That's because it's one of those situations where the essence of the matter is so simple and straightforward that it seems like an unproductive use of mental energy to follow the twists and turns of committee hearings and who said what on what talk show.  (I will say that Marco Rubio's stock has gone way south with me. He's pretty much cooked his goose, in fact.)

There is no pressing need for comprehensive immigration reform.  You seal the border and make sure not one more illegal alien gets across it.

Period.

Then there's plenty of time to deal with the illegal aliens who are already here.

And that's all there is to say about the matter.
