One of Lowry's thought leader gigs last week was co-hosting a panel discussion on immigration policy at Jim DeMint's Temple of Conservative Orthodoxy, the Heritage Foundation.
This was the panel's stated assignment:
The crisis at our southern border is intensifying. President Obama’s failure to faithfully administer our immigration laws has handcuffed our border agents, jeopardizing the lives of those we entrust to maintain security and stability in the area.
