The Washington Times
The security of the border should be the No. 1 priority for an immigration bill, Sen. Arlen Specter said yesterday, and he's open to a compromise that sets goals for border and interior enforcement ahead of a guest-worker program and path to citizenship for illegal aliens.
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said that in order for Congress to produce an immigration bill this year, President Bush must lobby personally on specific details in the bill -- something he has not done.
Astonishing that Senator Specter would make this claim. One must assume that he hasn't even read S. 2611 (Permanent Guest-Worker Amnesty Scheme) that he helped shove through the Senate. This has to be the most amusing headline that I seen all year.
Senator Specter has no credibility on the issue of border security.
