Allah:
Orwellian fun via RCP. You trust a guy who openly admits his only loyalty is to the immigrant community to do what’s best for the country at large, don’t you?
The fireworks come in the last minute although I’ll be candid and confess I don’t really understand what the point of disagreement is. Hannity says we should secure the border; Gutierrez replies that securing the border won’t stop ISIS operatives, who are more likely to enter the U.S. through airports than by sneaking across from Mexico. (Jihadis with British or, of course, American passports wouldn’t even need visas.) Could be, says Hannity, but then why not do both? Secure the border and take extra precautions in screening flights. Obviously you’d want to block terrorists from every possible route into the country. To which Gutierrez says … nothing, really. The real reason he opposes a border security bill, of course, is because that’s the left’s main leverage in getting Republicans to concede on the amnesty Democrats desperately want. If we pass a border security bill now with an eye to stopping terrorists, some congressional Republicans will decide that they’ve gotten what they wanted from immigration legislation and can now walk away from the legalization component.
