As this seems to be the topic of the week, I couldn’t help but be encouraged by this article in the Washington Times:
A task force of party leaders and members active on immigration has met since the summer to try to figure out where consensus exists, and several participants said those two ideas have floated to the top of the list of possibilities to be included either in an immigration-enforcement bill later this year or in a later comprehensive immigration overhaul.
“There is a general agreement about the fact that citizenship in this country should not be bestowed on people who are the children of folks who come into this country illegally,” said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican, who is participating in the “unity dinners,” the group of Republicans trying to find consensus on immigration.
This is where the battle is fought and won on illegal immigration folks. If not here in federal policy, then we’re only reacting to symptoms of a federal problem.
