That's a lot of lettuce

"Every bit of lettuce consumed in the United States is from Yuma County Arizona, and it's huge."

If this is the accuracy we can expect from Sen. Kyl and the Wall Street Journal, that's a shame.

The Journal likes amnesty (you can tell by the title, 'The "amnesty" canard').

All sorts of hemming and hawing about poor American markets and employers to justify a massive conspiracy to break the law. Pfui. Either adopt the libertarian position of purely open borders and have done with it, or either close the border to illegal immigration or imprison and deport those who are caught--and make a strong effort to catch them.

But the main problem with Kyl and the Journal's position is that these people are such unrepentant liars that they simply will not be believed at all, end of story. There is no compromise, there is no comprehensive solution. Protect the border or throw it open; don't legalize and then say, "We promise somebody else will close the border down years from now, and by the way no one will want to come across anyway."
