“The first thing you have to do is secure the border,” Will said. “A secure border is not a weird aspiration – it’s an essential attribute out of national sovereignty. Once you’ve do that, and the American people think you’ve done it – they’re not xenophobic, they’re not anti-immigrant. They just say let’s establish order and then we’ll come to terms with this.” (Will: Iowa showdown hinges on Perry, Huntsman announcement ‘had a whiff of moral arrogance’)
This really makes me angry. Perhaps, US borders are all ready "secure," but Republicans are using the secure-our-borders rhetoric to create Xenophobia and slam immigration reform proposals introduced by Democrats. I think what Republicans really want deep down inside is to receive all the credit for passing immigration reform. They want to "pick up the ball."
Also, screw Will. Can't this idiot realize that securing the border first will not solve the problem. What in the hell are legislators going to do with 11 to 12 million people whose lives and dreams are in limbo while legislators aim to take their sweet time to secure the border?????????????????
