Reports claiming Napolitano could refuse to build additional 350 miles of fencing under #HoevenCorker are misleading. http://t.co/sEVuMRmjgH

Facing pushback from some conservatives, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., took to Twitter to sell his amendment to the Gang of Eight amnesty bill.
Corker on deficit reduction through #CIR: “I don’t know of a business in America that wouldn't relish that ROI.” http://t.co/xyoG05jPpA

Alas, the message didn’t go over quite as well as Sen. Corker had hoped:
@SenBobCorker Reagan's deal had secure border & 700 miles of fence was 2 b built years ago. Neither has happened. #IDontTrustYou

@SenBobCorker If you are going to secure the border do it right, otherwise we are going to have problems 10 years from now #ImmgrationReform

@SenBobCorker $197 billion? You're so naive. They'll claim they don't have resources to enforce, but they'll enforce ObamaCare to the hilt.

Yes, skepticism is warranted:
I'm old enough to remember when Rubio's staff swore that the underlying bill already took care of border security. https://t.co/jjM6r3QKVw

.@CesarConda You know none of this is going to happen once the amnesty is complete, right? Why not mandate flying cars for border agents?

Anyway, if the amendment is as awesome as Corker claims, why must it be passed before anyone has had a chance to read it?
