It was a casual shot across the bow, a shrugged comment last week from Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.): Advocates of an immigration overhaul would have to "deal" with talk-radio hosts who he said don't know what is in the legislation but want to kill it nonetheless.

I keep hearing from Congresscritters that no one knows whats in such and such bill and no one understands this or that bill.

Why not propose legislation in plain English so that they could understand what they are voting on? Is that really too much to ask?

I'm with you. It seems to be a common refrain from these shamnesty-supporting Senators that we just don't know what's in the bill. These mice have had all the time in the world to make it crystal clear to the public exactly WHAT IS in the bill, yet they apparently do not have the communication skills to explain it to us in plain English. Hmmmm..... Maybe that's the problem.... Maybe the bill needs to be explained in plain Mexican in order to be understood.

And then just how would the lawyers and judges be able to understand it?

Why not one simple bill calling for a fence, admitting that no reform can take place until a garrisoned fence is in place and they can prove they secure the border?

Perhaps people get more and more dim, the longer they live in DC.
