I’m a fan of Senator John Cornyn on so many issues–immigration not being one of them. He tells the Washington Times, while talking about illegal immigration:

“In some respects, the closest analogy I can think of is Prohibition ” Prohibition was passed, it was a law that did not enjoy the support of the masses, so people found a way to get around it by making gin in a bathtub or whatever, and so then we repealed that law and said ‘OK, the best way to handle this is not to prohibit it but to regulate it,’ ” he said. “That seems to have worked reasonably well when it comes to alcohol consumption.”
