EXCLUSIVE: LATEST ON KYL-GRAHAM-MARTINEZ AMENDMENT   [Rich Lowry]

NRO has learned exclusively—very exclusively—that Lindsey "Deportation" Graham has added another wrinkle to the amendment he is offering with Kyl and Martinez. Now, instead of merely requiring a "touchback" from heads-of-households to apply for a Z-visa, the heads-of-households will have to head back to their home country for the "touchback" in chains, accompanied by a federal marshall. "We're going frog-march the bastards back to Mexico," Graham said in a written statement, vowing never, ever to support any amnesty legislation that doesn't include this measure that he calls "essential to the nation's security" and "important to the cause of providing the most humiliating and symbolically tough path to amnesty and citizenship as possible." (N.B.; the provision can be waived by the secretary of DHS and Graham's office won't reply to inquires about the source of funding for the 18-fold increase in the marshall service that homeland security experts say would be necessary to implement it.)

Yes, in case you were wondering, this is a parody!
