“REP. Mike Pence visited San Diego recently to get a close-up look at the U.S.-Mexican border. And that gave me a chance to get a close-up look at Mike Pence.

The Indiana Republican is a rising star in the GOP who has emerged as one of the most pivotal figures in the immigration debate. He also must be one of the most frustrated.

That’s because every time the three-term congressman comes up with a way to give GOP hard-liners what they say they want in an immigration bill, they decide they don’t want it anymore. Every time it looks as if he is about to get into the end zone, members of his own party move the goal line.”
