Nothing wrong with anything Mr. Hillyer said. But more than half of the items noted depend on big, fat "ifs."

And let's not forget that for the first six years of his administration Mr. Bush ignored our porous borders, turned a blind eye to illegal immigration, and even in the face of screaming public opposition tried mightily to jam down our throats a collection of immigration-related proposals which, if enacted, would have had profound economic and cultural implications for the country, most of them by general agreement negative.
