Full metal screech

The rightie message boards (no, go find them yourself...I'm not posting links) are in all-out banshee mode this weekend over the Commander Guy's “sell out” on the immigration question.

To become full legal residents, under a compromise Senate leaders announced Thursday, Mr. Ramírez and other illegal immigrants would have to pay a total of $5,000 in fines, more than 14 times the typical weekly earnings on the streets here, return to their home countries at least once, and wait as long as eight years. During the wait, they would have limited possibilities to bring other family members.
Yeah, that sounds pretty scary. Let the invasion begin.

Apparently all the grand and glorious things the DOOFUS has accomplished in Iraq count for nothing beside this perfidy. Oh well, hey, whatever works.
