They know something compassionate is going to have to be done about the 12 million people. but I think most people agree with me that someone who came here illegally should not be given every single benefit we give to somebody who comes here legally. We need to set a principle that we are not going to reward illegal behavior in the future. So you work something out on that. and you work something out on these other complex issues. and we set up a policy of immigration for the future that reflects some of the principles Canada has: its point system. its meritbased system. That was never discussed last year. Not one hint of it is in the bill Senator REID is apparently intending to bring up on Wednesday. How can we possibly talk about comprehensive immigration reform and never consider a meritbased immigration system? Isnt America based on merit? Dont we know far more people want to come here than can be accepted?
