...that “[Illegal immigrants] are here illegally; they’ve broken our laws to get here.” As McCain further stated, “Our first obligation is to enforce our borders.” Any serious immigration reform must include strengthening of our porous borders. Liberalizing immigration laws must be joined by eliminating ways to skirt those laws. Those attempting to enter the U.S. illegally must be stopped before they are successful; our strategy must be proactive rather than reactive. Exactly what form this increased security will take must be left to officials...
...borders, rather than becoming more secure since 9/11, have grown even more porous. And the trend has accelerated in the past year. It's fair to estimate, based on a TIME investigation, that the number of illegal aliens flooding into the U.S. this year will total 3 million--enough to fill 22,000 Boeing 737-700 airliners, or 60 flights every day for a year. It will be the largest wave since 2001 and roughly triple the number of immigrants who will come to the U.S. by legal means. (No one knows how many illegals are living...
...part of MINUSTAH and has refused to commit troops.)

On the other hand, U.S.C.'s defense can be porous, so Young, the nation's highest-rated passer, and his Longhorns could keep up. Both offenses average 50 or more points per game. Sounds as if the Rose Bowl might end up a fast-paced backyard battle. Too bad, Texas. That's just how Reggie Bush likes...
...Friars (8-4-2, 5-1-1 Hockey East), who as the top unranked vote-getters hover just outside the national polls in the de facto No. 11 spot, by a final score of 6-3. In this match-up of the two non-conference foes, the defense was porous, the fouls were frequent, and even the offensive misconnections abundant in a game which saw a total of nine scores. “It was a little ugly,” Harvard coach Katey Stone said. “But it was very hard-fought and it was great...
