A Fig Leaf To Cover Our Shame, Please?

Jay Tea at Wizbang is pretty down on the immigration bill.

All I ask for is a few simple things from any immigration bill:

1) Some measures that at least pretend to staunch the flow of illegals across the border;

2) Some sort of promises that this might actually work, and not lead to having to deal with two to sixty times as many illegals in another 21 years.

I’m not even asking for guarantees. I know better than that, when dealing with politicians. Just give me a fig leaf, a plausible lie that I can pretend to accept.

Is that too much to ask for?
