It isnt perfect. but unlike Rodinos bill. it represents a fair compromise. However. Congress would do even better to go beyond these limited efforts to address the full range of issues surrounding immigration control. Maybe we could take a hint from that old saying "If you cant bring Mohammed to the mountain. bring the mountain to Mohammed" by addressing the desperate political and economic straits illegal immigrants are fleeing. And Im not talking about foreign aid giveaways. We should be in the position of providing the fishing poles and the lessons. not the fish. We should establish free trade zones with our neighbors and encourage them to copy our recent tax and budget cuts and regulatory reformspolicies based on a return to the freedoms that historically have produced unprecedented prosperity.
