The Washington Times

When the Senate's amnesty bill met its inglorious end on June 28, the American people dodged a bullet. With amnesty legislation now off the table, it is time to get serious about border control and enforcement of our nation's immigration laws. Maybe we can learn something from the way President Eisenhower handled the same problem in 1953, when he moved into the White House.
Eisenhower was faced with a porous border that saw a million illegal aliens apprehended in 1951, and the total number of illegal aliens in the country was estimated to be above 3 million.
