EXCLUSIVE: LATEST ON KYL-GRAHAM-MARTINEZ AMENDMENT [Rich Lowry]
NRO
has learned exclusively—very exclusively—that Lindsey "Deportation"
Graham has added another wrinkle to the amendment he is offering with
Kyl and Martinez. Now, instead of merely requiring a "touchback" from
heads-of-households to apply for a Z-visa, the heads-of-households will
have to head back to their home country for the "touchback" in chains,
accompnaied by a federal marshall. "We're going frog-march the bastards
back to Mexico," Graham said in a written statement, vowing never, ever
to support any amnesty legislation that doesn't include this measure
that he calls "essential to the nation's security" and "important to
the cause of providing the most humiliating and symbolically tough path
to amnesty and citizenship as possible." (N.B.; the provision can be
waived by the secretary of DHS and Graham's office won't reply to
inquires about the source of funding for the 18-fold increase in the
marshall service that homeland security experts say would be necessary
to implement it.)
