Let me start by saying that I’m not sold on the new immigration bill. The additional costs, especially with health care, should have everyone asking whether this comprehensive reform should be divided up into separate bills.

When debating border control methods on June 13, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D- Louisiana) got a little confused with her geography. She mentioned South Dakota as a border state.
