Former senator and probable Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson brought Virginia Republicans to their feet last Saturday night in Richmond when he said the public no longer believes in politicians who promise to secure the U.S. border as part of a bipartisan immigration bill.
"You've got to secure the border first, before you do anything," said Mr. Thompson. "The members [of Congress] say it's right here in this bill: the border. The response is, 'We don't care what's on a piece of paper -- secure the border.' The piece of paper doesn't secure the border."
