I'm going to have to disagree with you guys today.

To be honest this is probably the biggest and most important congressional battle in my lifetime. It is one that should have been fought and decided decades ago.... but it wasn't. And now it is time to decide once and for all the long term direction of the nation. In my estimation the budget battle is a sideshow of scant significance compared to that of coming to an honest conclusion of the costs and benefits of immigration (both legal and illegal) AND who benefits from things as they stand. And who gets hurt.

Immigration and "free" trade... these issues aren't going away. They may well be the defining issues of our time.
