He clearly contrasted a "comprehensive reform" approach vs "enforcement-first" strategy. Were you not so intellectually lazy (or dishonest) you would have followed the link to read what he actually wrote -not what you think he wrote.

Reyes wasn’t talking about reform vs enforcement. He clearly contrasted a “comprehensive reform” approach vs “enforcement-first” strategy.

Were you not so intellectually lazy (or dishonest) you would have followed the link to read what he actually wrote -not what you think he wrote.

Then again, reading comprehension is not a reichwinger’s forte.

Actually, older lyrics are just as lyrical, if not more so:
