DeMint Responds: One of the more vocal Senate critics of the present immigration bill, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) responds to $4.4 billion enforcement proposal:

I appreciate the effort to fund border security, but there’s simply no reason why we should be forced to tie amnesty to it. If the administration was serious about fulfilling the border security promises, then this funding should have been supported all along, not offered at the last minute to attract votes to a bad bill.
