2007 immigration bill was a bad joke; can Congress get it right this time?
In 2007, Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama supported Senators John McCain, Ted Kennedy and many Democrats in a failed effort to foist a so called immigration reform bill that was loaded with pork, written to give illegals amnesty and otherwise a disgraceful attempt to fool Americans.
Now, most of the same characters are making another attempt to change the immigration and border security laws. But, of course, the focus is on helping the illegals, not American citizens whose lives and incomes are put at risk by the shameful border security enforcement polices of the Obama administration.
