Tony Blankley: 'God Bless' Immigration Hawk Hillary

From NewsMax.com. Tony Blankley used to be Newt Gingrich's chief-of-staff. He notes that Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has been making border-security pronouncements since February of last year. Moreover she's been saying all the right things. If Blankley's recollections of her remarks is accurate, then I can't fault anything she says along that line. For this reason, Blankley welcomes her "efforts" at immigration reform.

Well, let's test that. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and Jim Sensenbrenner should put together a border-security package and go out and seek Hillary's sponsorship. If she sponsors this legislation in the Senate, then we can believe her to be sincere. But I would like to know where she was when the Senate stripped out of the 9/11 bill a vital measure imposing a uniform standard of security for drivers' licensure.
