Hmmm - that's odd. I don't recall any of Quayle's relatives being President.

Just have to listen to the radio in Minnesota and Michigan to hear about open houses recruiting border guards. Frankly they must be hiring a ton of people in order to need to go across the country to hire guards. With a new $600M bill, there can be no doubt that border security spending is at record levels.

Re: Illegal Immigration IV: Amnesty For Some, Miniature American Flags For Others
The fact that they are having an open house hardly demonstrates some mass hiring campaign. I'm guessing they always have recruiting activities going on. Any sizable organization has some level of turnover and thus is always in the mode of hiring some folks. Certainly there will be a bit of additional hiring, as the $600 million includes funding for 1,000 new border patrol agents. But in an agency that already has over 20,000 border patrol agents, that's less than a five percent increase in staffing, hardly a staggering change. Wiki says that the Border Patrol normally has a 5 percent attrition rate, so they are replacing more existing agents that have left than the new agents being hired from the $600 million.
And of course this all assumes that the administration will change tack and start trying to actually clamp down on things effectively instead of just tallying up numbers, as has been noted in the past. And, as with past deployments, an outsized portion of them will end up in California, where they hardly need any further border funding after building their own version of the Berlin Wall.

Re: Illegal Immigration IV: Amnesty For Some, Miniature American Flags For Others
Yet many open houses across the northern half of the US (coupled with likely many, many more in the south) do signify a mass hiring campaign.
Its very obvious that this is an extemely important and expensive part of US policy...regardless of what a constantly complaining Brewer says. At some point, you really do begin to believe its all about politics.

And when it's all about politics, it's not about actually securing the border. Thanks.

Stephen Colbert to testify on immigration before Congress
Rumors that it will be "in character".

Yes, Stephen Colbert is a joke.
Between him and Stewart, which is the biggest "I can't believe he's not a democrat".... This is a serious issue and they're going to send in a clown to perform the lefts strongest and most dishonest tactic... ridicule. Lets ignore reality... bring in the jester.

I can sort of see why he'd be a decent guy to call in- if he wasn't going to perform in character. If he is, that's just kind of silly, and I like watching his show.
Although to be fair, it's only Republican staffers speaking off the record so far saying it will be "in character", so maybe he'll play the straight man.

How? I mean, the guy is an entertainer. It would be like calling in Keifer Sutherland to testify on counter-terrorism. But what can I expect from government made up of people who think keyboards, logos, and pledges are steps in the right direction...

It would be like calling in Keifer Sutherland- if he had spent a few days at a counter-terrorism facility. I'm saying, Colbert worked in the fields last month, so he might have one or two decent insights.

So a reporter that spends a week in the green zone in Iraq is expert enough to testify before Congress about the war on terror?

And there aren't better people to do it? If it is about that topic, then it is about borrowing his celebrity. If Congress wants to be informed on the matter there are certainly a slew of experts which can give them information.
