Kaus on Immigration

Mickey Kaus writing in The Daily Caller jumps up and down on the Corker-Hoeven amendment to the Senate immigration reform act. His basic point: whatever it claims to demand, future Congresses will gut or fail to fund it when a search for budget cuts becomes the issue of the moment. In other words, don't believe any of it will really happen, any more than the original 700 miles of fence was ever built (it wasn't).

Particularly if you are hesitant about the immigration bill's amnesty provisions, what Kaus has to say will resonate. He wants the House to dump the whole thing.
