Against All Odds at the Border By Robert Klein Engler

"The debate over 'comprehensive immigration reform' will capture again the attention of both Congress and the media. Few in either of these institutions will come out and say that at the heart of this debate is the issue of amnesty: how many should get that amnesty and through what means?

The truth is that we do not need comprehensive immigration reform. What we need is to have the laws already on the books enforced. What we need is enforcement, deportation, and secure borders. It is wrong to say our immigration system does not work: it is Congress that does not work for the interest of the nation.

In spite of efforts by groups like NumbersUSA and the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, it looks like Congress and the media may take the easy way and do what should not be done: go along with all the special interests arrayed against enforcement, deportation, and secure borders. Congress will offer some kind of amnesty to the more than 12 million who are in the U. S. illegally.
