On Thursday, the Senate reached a tentative deal on border security aimed at encouraging more Republicans to support so-called comprehensive immigration reform. Senators Bob Corker (R-TN) and John Hoeven (R-ND) put together a deal with the "Gang of Eight" that calls for 700 miles of new fencing along the Mexican border, a near doubling of Border Patrol agents, and the purchase of aerial drones for additional border policing. Breitbart's Matthew Boyle accurately describes the real objective behind this effort. "The so-called 'compromise' on border security...is a sham meant to give political cover to Republicans who want to vote for amnesty but cannot be seen opposing border security."
