Wyoming’s Senator Barrasso Leads on Immigration


The current pandemonium over driver’s licenses for illegals bodes particularly ill for Democrats, in a surprising contrast from the political landscape of only a few months ago.

I'm pro-life myself, but I would vote for Senator Barrasso in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity, just like I would if Alan Simpson was still around.

Other than the disastrous Simpson-Mazzoli amnesty bill of 1986, I don't know much about how Simpson handled illegal immigration.
