“I think the activists and the National Review crowd are just foaming at the mouth…”

My knuckle-dragging cousin, Michelle Malkin, foamed at the mouth in reply:

“There are nearly three times as many officially designated illegal aliens fugitives freed by the feds as there are illegal aliens who have been removed over the last year. In fact, according to DHS’ Detention and Removal office, 85% of the illegal aliens released that have been issued final orders of removal will abscond. That goes not for just illegal aliens from Mexico but for illegal aliens from terror friendly and terror sponsoring nations.”

Yet the Wall Street Journal’s Paul Gigot smugly derides my nieces and nephews at the National Review by saying, “this is part of their “enforcement first” agenda.” Daniel Henninger adds, “Their objection is fundamentally cultural.

“Hmmm…” The WSJ must be down for the struggle, my brother. Word u… wait a minute! “Let’s take a look around the room.”

I suspect the seating arrangment will look different in the next video of a WSJ editorial page meeting. [Ed. — And I’ll be so proud] Maybe they’ll even let mom and pop bring the boombox and play the theme to their favorite 1980’s TV show during the meeting.

Well, maybe not. ROFL!

The more illegal immigrants the merrier, the open borders crowd obvious thinks. The Washington Times reports:

The Senate voted yesterday to grant amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who have already been caught and ordered deported but are defying a court order, preserving their path to citizenship as part of the immigration bill.

Another showdown is scheduled for this morning on Democrats’ effort to cut off the debate and force a final vote on the bill. Republicans have vowed to block that through a filibuster unless they are given assurances they can offer enough amendments before the final vote.

For now, the small bipartisan group of senators that crafted the bill behind closed doors has been successful in fending off any major changes, though the coalition took a couple of hits from Republican-sponsored amendments last night.
…
Sen John Cornyn offered an amendment to prevent those aliens from gaining legal status, arguing they have already shown disrespect for the law and should be sent home.

“We are going to continue to be viewed as non-serious about workability, about enforcement, about restoring respect for the rule of law, unless we vote to exclude those who show nothing but defiance for our laws,” the Texas Republican said.

But Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, said they were only guilty of “common, garden-variety immigration offenses” that should not disqualify them.

“Our employers beg them to come back and our broken borders make that possible,” he said

Don’t you feel confident that they will actually secure our borders someday when Senator Ted Kennedy says things like that?
