The holes in the immigration bill

And Corker admits his addition to the bill sucks as well:

Even Corker — one of the two senators whose names are atop the amendment — said Thursday that he doesn’t think it goes far enough to make sure that immigration laws are enforced away from the border.

The union that represents Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers says its members have been hamstrung by policies limiting their ability to arrest foreigners who are in the United States illegally, and that the pending legislation and border surge amendment do little to address that.

Corker said Thursday that he wanted to add that type of enforcement to the surge measure, but could not. He didn’t say exactly why that was the case, but it’s likely Democratic senators or the White House may have objected.
