We couldn’t agree more. How thick is Schumer laying it on in the final minutes leading up to a vote? John McCormack of The Weekly Standard tweets Schumer’s final push:
Schumer: a vote against today's bill a "direct rebuke" to the lady who shines in New York's harbor
— John McCormack (@McCormackJohn) June 27, 2013
Schumer: Any would-be illegal immigrant in the future will have to get over 18-foot steel fence
— John McCormack (@McCormackJohn) June 27, 2013
Schumer: "To reject this bill would tear the fabric of America asunder"
— John McCormack (@McCormackJohn) June 27, 2013
That coming from a politician who has certainly done his share of the ripping.
Is Schumer’s desperation a sign of a close vote?
@RBPundit @McCormackJohn Always a good sign when you fall back on hackneyed demagoguery to close the sale. Just like real estate!

For Schumer and his friends, the immigration bill is a real estate deal, because the Democrats want to gain as much ground in the House and Senate as possible, all with the happy assistance of some Republicans.
