One myth currently popular on the political right is that the immigration debate pits populist conservatives in the Ronald Reagan mold against Big Business "elites" who've hijacked the Republican Party. It's closer to the truth to say that what's really being hijacked here is the Gipper's reputation.

President Bush is threatening to revive the failed comprehensive immigration bill in "improved" form. He is wasting his and our time. No amount of improving can make the comprehensive approach the best path for America to solve its immigration woes.

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions stood up at Tuesday's lunch for Senate Republicans and baldly told President George W. Bush what was wrong with his immigration proposal: it would give amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrations, it would reduce illegal immigration by only 13%, and it doesn't go far enough to enforce border security.

The White House and Republican allies were optimistic that the immigration overhaul bill will come back to life and pass the Senate, as they hinted they will pitch the bill as necessary to securing the border and enforcing the law, appealing to conservatives wary that illegal immigrants will continue to stream into the country.

By now everyone has heard of the proposed new Immigration Bill, the result of months of secret back-room negotiations between Democrats and Republicans. Rather than attack the bill, or calling names, I am going to do something different. I am going to look at a number of PAST immigration bills, and compare the situation today.

Amnesty has emerged as the pariah term of the immigration debate, disavowed even by those who believe in its goals. But what are the alternatives to letting illegals stay? Deporting millions? Devising other punishments? Doing nothing at all?

The only way to stop the flood of illegal immigrants from completely overwhelming the U.S., Canada, and Europe is for these nations to help their less fortunate brethren become prosperous. This means abandoning the Washington Consensus and giving up the claims of the Western financiers to near-total domination of worldwide resources.

If they can open bank accounts, immigrants will be less likely to carry large amounts of cash, a practice that makes them easy targets for robbers

By Jay Cost - The immigration debate reminds me a bit of the debate on Social Security reform that Congress had a while ago. The deadlock from then and the deadlock I expect to see soon are not coincidental. Our system has what might be called a very strong status quo bias, one that makes it very hard to pass sweeping legislation.
