Majority Leader Frist asked
Senators to separate immigration
from the supplemental military
spending bill. He wants to stop
them from packing pet projects
into this unstoppable measure.

He didn’t mention amendments
that provide funds to repair forest
roads in California and build a
baseball stadium in DC, or one
to let Mississippi drill for oil in
the Gulf Coast National Seashore.

The Appropriations Committee
says this “straightforward bill�
meets the needs of our troops and
addresses “emergencies at home.�
Thank goodness Senator Frist
knows where to draw the line.
