President George W. Bush signed legislation on Thursday to build 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexican border, an election-year move against illegal immigration aimed at helping Republicans.
This only helps the Republicans in some sectors. There is a reason that nothing was accomplished on illegal immigration this election year. It is because the issue cuts across party lines and any one stance helps a politician with one group of supporters and dings them with another. Could it possibly be that this poor compromise is just the best the weak spined Congress could come up with to address illegal immigration this year?
