Bush's plan is too soft on illegals

Dallas Morning News | Mark Davis:

“Enact 100 percent deportation of every illegal we find. No more hand-wringing about families. I have the same empathy for those kids that I do for the kids of criminals who must go to jail, leaving children without parents. ... Great leaders know when compromise is appropriate and when it is not. This is not a tax cut debate or even a stem cell debate. It is a battle for what kind of country we are going to have.”

Many Americans don't want the kind of country Mark Davis would give us. Think Elian Gonzalez repeated millions of times. No, thanks, Mr Davis.

“Those of us who voted for [Bush] twice and remain thankful he won do not thrill to the notion of another protracted season of mixed feelings. But there is no other option, as President Bush's Monday night immigration speech sends his supporters to bang their heads on a well-worn brick wall. One of the bruised foreheads is mine.”

Ed Cognoski responds:

Now we know the source of Mark Davis' usual muddle-headed thinking.
