Good Immigration Cop, Bad Immigration Cop

In Response:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/09/lindsey-graham-immigration_n_3047026.html?utm_hp_ref=latino-voices&ir=Latino%20Voices

This immigration "deal" is nothing more than the old good cop bad cop routine.  The good cops make lots of nice promises then let their hardliner comrades vote to kill the bill.

Americans pay for this nonsense with their immigration enforcement tax dollars, loss of jobs, and their loss of quality of life.

The undocumented pay for this in many cases by leaving their families behind at home and in some case by losing their lives crossing the border.

Meanwhile, as far as Mexico is concerned, the fat cats on both side of the border rake in 1.25 billion dollars a day in cross border trade, oil profits, cheap labor, illegal drug profits, and remittances send back to the undocumented's' home countries.       

Need I remind you to remember all of the promises made during Reagan's Amnesty and Clinton's NAFTA?  Touted as the end to illegal immigration, they both increased illegal immigration to its highest levels ever.

Whatever song and dance this gang of 8 is pitching will eventually do the same.  There is simply too much money being made in maintaining the immigration status quo for these profiteers to make any substantial changes.
