All those who are hoping that comprehensive immigration reform is going to
happen this year -- Latinos, businesses, churches, agriculture industry, law
enforcement and others -- are in for a rude awakening.
The trick for politicians will be
to look as if they're doing something, when really they're doing nothing. But,
regardless of how it looks, it's a long shot that Congress will pass immigration
reform this year.
That's bad news for those who
want to give the undocumented a chance to get right with the law and develop a
sensible, fair and efficient policy for future immigrants. But it's good news
for those who resist legalizing the undocumented because they're afraid of
foreigners -- either because of competition with their work ethic, or that
they're changing the culture and complexion of the country.
This is sort of interesting but I don't think that those who are here illeagally should be able to become legal.
