Fun Factoid: 2013 Amnesty "Penalty" Less Than The 2007 Version

$3,000 for a "Z-Visa" in 2007.

$500 "Fine" in 2013.

But don't call it amnesty.

This is a great example of why I'm done with the GOP.

Corker: This is the 1st time I’ve had the opportunity to vote on a bill that spends $46 billion..and..returns $197 billion to the Treasury

That's Senator Bob Corker, co-author of the Corker-Hoeven faux security amendment.

The margin of difference between the Democrats and Republicans in too many areas simply isn't big enough to cower to the "but the Democrats are worse" line anymore.

Oh, one other fun factoid. Hoeven of Corker-Hoeven? Yeah, he got into the race for the Senate in 2010 when Democrat Byron Dorgan retired. Dorgan was a stanch opponent of amnesty.
