The Domestic Surge: Frank Talk On Immigration From Democrats
Posted By Paul Nachman On 23 November 2007

Immigration-sanity — including blunt talk on the subject — is breaking out among Congressional Democrats.

The Savannah (Georgia) Morning News reports [1] [[2] Barrow wants to secure borders, crack down on employers, deny benefits to illegals, by Larry Peterson, November 22, 2007]:

“Back from touring border areas in Arizona and Texas, U.S. Rep. John Barrow says he is more determined than ever to ’stop the invasion.’

“The Savannah Democrat and half a dozen other congressmen spent two days near Tucson, Ariz., and El Paso, Texas. They saw border station facilities, met with border patrol and immigration officials and visited traffic checkpoints and border-crossing sites.

“Barrow said Wednesday that he is committed to securing the borders before considering any so-called ‘comprehensive’ immigration policies.

“He has voted against so-called ‘amnesty’ measures to let illegal immigrants stay in the country.â€
