PREZ SPEECH TONIGHT AS EXPECTED   [John Derbyshire]

If the preview in this morning's edition of America's Newspaper of Record can be relied on, the President's speech on immigration reform tonight will be the milk-and-water leaky-bandaid stuff we expected.  No border wall, no attempt to deport or attrit the illegal population, nothing on birthright citizenship, a "guest worker" scam-o-rama (foreigners fly in, pick up sheaf of bogus documents for $100 to "prove" they've been here 5 yrs, get on the "path to citizenship").  Let's face it, GWB is a dyed-in-the-wool open-borders fanatic.  We can expect nothing from him in this area.  We must keep the spirit of real reform alive in the House & hope for better times.
