Does New Hampshire care about an immigration bill?

If you believe Glenn Reynolds and Mickey Kaus,( I do) an immigration bill was what toppled Eric Cantor, number 2 Republican in the US House. 
Question:  Is an immigration bill that important up here?  If so, what should be in it?  Considering that we are far from the Mexican border, in fact about as far away as you can be and still be a US state.  The Quebec border is only a hour's drive from here.  Of course you don't hear all that much about illegal immigrants from Canada.  There must be some, but they sure don't make the TV news. 
 There are several issues that might be addressed in an immigration bill.
1.  Do something about the 10-11 million illegal immigrants already here.  Partly this is a matter of plain humanitarianism.  Right now they are outlaws. subject to jail and deportation if they come to the attention of the authorities.  A simple traffic stop can lead to deportation.  Democrats are in favor, 'cause they think the illegals will all vote democratic if they ever become citizens.  Republicans seem to be OK with this 'cause they think it will  improve their Hispanic community vote.  Business is OK with this 'cause it offers them a lot of workers, willing to work for less. 
2.  Increase the number of H1B visas granted.  H1b visas let engineers, computer programmers, and other skilled technical workers come and work in the US.  Business is strongly in favor.  US born engineers are less than enthusiastic.  In a related vein farmers and growers want a deal to let in more farm workers. 
3. Revise immigration laws to favor the young, the educated, the married with children, people who will contribute to the economy.  Current law favors the aged parents of  younger immigrants. 
4.  Increase security along the Mexican border to prevent more illegals from gaining entry.  The ultimate end of this policy will give us a Berlin wall stretching from San Diego to Brownsville.
5. Something else?

I'd be interested in comments on this one.  What do you think?

Maybe Immigration did beat Eric Cantor

Glenn Reynolds and Mickey Kaus discuss this possibility on Glenn's Web TV show.  Mickey relates that both sides in the campaign concentrated on the immigration issue in the last weeks of the campaign.  I have confidence in both Glenn and Mickey, they might be onto something here.  Mickey said that an immigration bill offering amnesty (although calling it something else) and freer immigration of workers is popular in with Republicans in DC.  They think it would gain them votes in the Hispanic community, and their corporate donors like the idea of more cheap labor.  The idea is unpopular outside of DC where voters see amnestied illegals gaining political power with the vote, holding wages down, and competing for jobs. 

Don't rule things out while cutting a deal

With Iraq falling to terrorist, Obama  publicly declares we won't sent troops, and just now declares we won't fly airstrikes.
  Dumb and dumber.  You don't tell the enemy what you will or won't do.  Better to let them worry about what might happen to them. 
   Obama's lefty peacenik base may love this, but it doesn't help to preserve Iraq from Islamic terrorists.

Questions they didn't ask Hillary

Hillary ventured onto Fox News last night, got interviewed by Brett Bahr and Greta van Sustrend (sp?). I watched. The questions not asked:
1.  Why no rescue mission to Benghazi that night?
2.  Why were two US general officers in the theater relieved of command the next day?
3. Who turned down Behghazi's requests for more security before the attack?
4.  What was a big CIA installation doing in that sinkhole?
5.  What was the US ambassador doing there that night?

Hillary is not an inspiring speaker.  She uses the bafflegab technique, utter a lot of big words to say little or nothing.  She was evasive, seldom answering the question, instead launching off into vaguely related side issues of little interest.  Brett and Greta were polite and their questions were fairly easy, even for a democrat.
I'm wondering if Hillary OK'ed all the questions beforehand as a condition of coming on the show.

20th Anniversery of OJ

Not to my taste.  But the newsies, all of 'em, NPR, Fox, ABC are all running reminiscences of the OJ trial from 20 years ago.  The event must really mean something to newsies, since they cover it so lovingly.  We have terrorists taking over Iraq, the economy sliding down the tubes, Russians taking over Ukraine, terrorist kidnaping schoolgirls, airliners mysteriously disappearing at sea, Republicans massing to take over the Senate, and all the newsies want to cover the OJ trial, again.
Talk about a slow news day. 

Cookie Pushers begin to flee the Bagdad embassy

Let's hope to doesn't look as bad as the  bugout from Saigon 40 years ago.
I heard our good old State Dept had 5000 cookie pushers stationed in Bagdad.  I wonder what they do, other than draw their pay.

Do you believe this?

Man changes his name to "Human" and runs for the NH house.  Fortunately he is a Democrat.  This same guy went to court to get a vanity plate reading "CopsLie".  Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.
