Bubba weighs in on Krauthammer’s column criticizing the immigration bill.
I don’t think Krauthammer is being sarcastic when he writes:
There is of course a third alternative: what we’ve been living with for the last 20 years — a certain tolerance of illegal immigrants that allows 12 million to stay and work but denies them most of the privileges and government payouts reserved for legal citizens, and thus acts as at least a mild disincentive to even more massive illegal immigration.
In other words, the bill is worse than doing nothing. But perhaps a zero tolerance deportation policy would also act as “at least a mild disincentive” to illegal immigration.
