Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., announced that Republicans who oppose amnesty do so because they are “xenophobic” — a view that probably puts him to the left even of most liberals within his own party. http://twitter.com/#!/RepCohen/status/495400891638616064 How “very sad” that anyone would want to secure […]
