Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

Fred Thompson comments at RedState on the "compromise" immigration reform bill - which shrinks the border fence and expands the amnesty for illegal immigrants:

With this bill, the American people are going to think they are being sold the same bill of goods as before on border security. We should scrap this bill and the whole debate until we can convince the American people that we have secured the borders or at least have made great headway.

Fred's where the people are on this issue - not just where conservative Republicans are, but most Americans: Fence first, and then we'll discuss what to do about the 12 million illegals who are already here.
