This reform is complex. There’s a lot of emotions around this issue. Convictions run deep. Those determined to find fault with this bill will always be able to look at a narrow slice of it and find something they don’t like. If you want to kill the bill, if you don’t want to do what’s right for America, you can pick one little aspect out of it, you can use it to frighten people. Or you can show leadership and solve this problem once and for all,

Mark Steyn was thoughtful and civil in his reaction.

Me? I say, “Yeah, George? You and the horse you rode in on.” The gall of the man to insinuate that opponents of his Christmas Present to illegals are arguing from emotion and fear!

Yes, I want leadership, George. Leadership is someone pointing to the border and saying, “That’s where I draw the line.” Leadership is someone pointing to the Constitution and saying, “And here’s the law of the land.” Right now you wouldn’t know leadership if it snuck up and bit you in the horse you rode in on.
