One of Mark Twain's most famous quips was “No man’s life, liberty or property is safe while the Congress is in session.” That certainly is the case in 2007. One columnist, a fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, asks "Whose problem is the immigration bill supposed to solve? The country's problem with dangerously porous borders? The illegal immigrants' problem? Or politicians' problems?"Every step, he notes, even token steps, that Congress and the administration have taken toward securing the border were the result of pressure from the voters.
He also notes that whether or not the requirements in the bill for those illegals who want to pursue citizenship are "tough," there is nothing to say that the 12 million people here illegally have to start that process. If the bill becomes law, those who do not choose to become citizens, all too likely the majority of illegal immigrants, face no more prospect of being punished for the crime of entering the country illegally than they do now.
This is perfectly consistent, he says, for a bill that seeks above all to solve politicians' problems, not the country's. God bless America.
