Live coverage, GOP presidential debate, June 5, 2007

11: I'm going to go practice my track-standing. Back later...

10: Three minutes with Larry King commence now...

9: Hunter mentioned pardoning Ramos-Compean, and even bringing back the Reagan Democrats.

8: John McCain warns that having 12 million illegal aliens - 2 million of them being criminals - is dangerous. His solution is his bill, which would give them a wave-of-the-wand legalization, with the government having only 24 hours to deny an application.

7: Ron Paul is pointing out that massive illegal immigration is subsidized... alert Reason Magazine!

6: Hunter is - thankfully - objecting to a "reporters" premise that there are "jobs Americans won't do". Booyah: "The Bush Kennedy McCain bill".

5: McCain says that amnesty is a matter of national security. Of course, he fails to note - and Wolfie fails to discuss - that the Z-visas Romney mentioned would almost certainly allow terrorists to become legal.

4: Once again, Wolf Blitzer is showing how much of a puffball he is by failing to ask tough questions that would reveal flaws in the arguments of those who promote massive and/or illegal immigration

3: Rudy Giuliani is now promoting his national ID card which would start just for foreigners but would expand to everyone in the U.S. (In a followup comment, Giuliani shows once again that he's obsessed with "knowing who's in the country").

2: Wolf is already wasting our time. It's good to know candidates can't go off-topic, no matter how marshmallow Wolf's questioning will no doubt be... Did McCain's pacemaker just short out or something?

The Huckster - a strong supporter of illegal immigration - starts it out with a joke...

Champion of the Constitution! Does he have a uniform? I kid...

1: The "I'd rather be riding my bike" coverage will commence shortly...
