His ideas are sound. I've been thinking for a long time that there is a possible compromise between the House and Senate bills. Most of the House bill supporters realize that we're going to have to work with the ones here, and we expect to do so, but it must be AFTER not before the spigot is shut off.
The Senate would require us to swallow the existing ones as the price of getting a wall. They would probably rather skip the wall later, but if we can enforce THEM to enforce the law NOW, there might be room to work.
Trouble is, I don't know how this government can be forced to do what it doesn't want to do. I'm reminded of when Congress allocated funding for 2000 more border agents, and the Admin said they would just not spend it, and hired like 200.
Well, I do think there is a politcal will to do this now. As much as I dislike for intance Tancredo, he will serve a very useful function holding everyones feet to the fire on the funding issue. Also I think it is important to get something doen now and a consensus behind it. I have a feeling that meither party is going to want to revist this issue with the same level of hot debate and tension every year. I am afraid if we don't do this now, then if the Dems take power we very well might get something a whole lot worse. Like everything in the Senate bill plus.
