Wanted: Five smooth stones and a sling

It’s always been obvious that immigration lobbying has been lopsided, with the bulk of the money and groups on the expansionist side. But someone’s now gone and quantified it, using House and Senate lobbying reports, and it’s even worse than I thought. Fully 98 percent of the organizations lobbying on immigration are pushing Congress for some combination of amnesty, loose enforcement, and higher numbers. The fact we have any immigration limits or enforcement at all is a testament to the depth and breadth of public opposition to the open-borders agenda.
