Schumer’s Amnesty Trojan Horse » The Foundry: "Ruben Navarrette has a thoughtful op-ed in today’s USA Today that tries to dissect the problem with immigration and border security reform. What we are likely to engage in, he forecasts, is “not a debate. It’s a distraction.”
The bill being drafted by Sen. Schumer with the administration is incomprehensible. On the one hand, Schumer tries to buy off both labor unions and “the right” with tough talk about enforcement and discouraging immigrant labor. On the other, the bill guarantees amnesty. That’s likely to fail for two reasons.
First, the experience of the failed reforms of 1986 clearly show that a general massive “amnesty” will overwhelm any enforcement effort. In addition, many on the right have no problem with temporary workers (something Schumer’s bill would discourage). In fact, many conservatives would prefer them to forcing illegal immigrants to become US citizens."
