Senate has sold our birthright, Thomas Sowell article

Thomas Sowell has a brilliant analysis of the Senate "Immigration" bill at Real Clear Politics. 

The article begins with, "Many stores held sales over the Memorial Day holidays. In
Washington, the Senate immigration bill has been selling our birthright
for a message of political pottage.


Far from "controlling the borders" as advertised, this bill reduces
our existing control of the borders. Under a provision inserted at the
eleventh hour by Senator Arlen Specter, the Senate bill forbids the
federal government from building a fence without first consulting with
the Mexican government."

And, it just gets more maddening from there.  Read the whole thing.
