Pence Again

His "no amnesty" bill is all that can prevent Republican voters from staying home on November 7.

(Page 3 of 3)

In short, the plan is ingenious. Not only should conservatives rally behind it, but so should the White House. It provides the President with a near-perfect escape from the rock-and-hard-place dilemma of trying to please, all at once, Hispanics, big business, and the mainstream Americans who insist that the first requirement of a guest is that the guest abide by our society's laws.

Such insistence is absolutely the right thing. But it doesn't, by any means, require that Americans fail to exhibit our usual humaneness, nor does it require that we keep necessary jobs unfilled.

In sum, the Pence bill offers security and prosperity in equal measure. You can't beat that.
