She offers "Ignoring the easy solution on immigration":

Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss - then a congressman - was annoyed at the old Immigration and Naturalization Service for trying to enforce the nation's laws. In 1998, when INS agents rounded up illegal workers at the Vidalia onion fields in southeast Georgia, Mr. Chambliss and a handful of other Georgia congressmen denounced the agency. He accused INS of using "bullying tactics."

These days, Mr. Chambliss is better known for his tough stance against illegal workers. A member of a hard-core group of Republicans who have rebelled against President Bush's sensible call for immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship...

...He stands on the same side he's always stood on - the side of big business, which wants to exploit illegal workers without giving them the benefits of legal status...

Your head may have done a Linda Blair as you read that, but don't worry Tucker wasn't similarly affected. To her, it's perfectly logical to claim to be opposed to illegal immigration and its attendant abuses while at the same time supporting legislation that will encourage even more illegal immigration and make the situation far worse.

A head-spinning question for Cynthia: aren't you a "hard-liner" too? After all, you support Bush's plan, so presumably you also support enforcing it. Won't that enforcement involve taking actions similar to those that "hard-liners" want to take now? As in other cases, what's far more likely is that Tucker will support enforcing the new laws that she supports the same way she supports enforcing the current laws.
