Why the Hurry, Harry?

Harry Reid is blaming Republicans for wanting to "slow down" the passage of the dreadful Senate compromise by voting on amendments.

According to Senator John Cornyn, though, here are some of the significant problems that Harry Reid and the Democrats apparently aren't interested in addressing:

Approximately 12 million illegal immigrants would be placed on a different, easier path to a green card and citizenship;

Felons, repeat criminals and illegal immigrants who ignored orders of deportation would remain eligible for legalization;

Information sharing restrictions could prevent the Department of Homeland Security from investigating fraud;

Illegal immigrants who do depart and re-enter would be given a priority for green cards over those who waited to enter legally; and

Hundreds of thousands of temporary workers could obtain green cards without the normal U.S. worker protections.


Key question for Harry Reid: Do you really want to make repeat criminals and felons eligible for legalization? Who would have suspected that the Democrats were so hungry for new voters that they'd be willing to risk our security? Guess we should have known.
