The Cornyn Con

Washington Examiner‘s Conn Carroll compares the text of Cornyn’s amendment with the language it replaces–and it turns out that the amendment isn’t as bad as feared. It’s worse! Specifically: 1) It keeps the basic “legalization first” structure of the Gang of 8. That is, illegal immigrants are near-immediately given “provisional” legal status. Only then do promised enforcement improvements kick in. If Cornyn conditioned legalization on enforcement, he might actually come close–as close as he could come–to a “guarantee” that the enforcement measures would in fact be carried out. Instead, it’s “Give us legalization and we’ll give you enforcement in the morning.’ Once 11 million illegals are legalized, though, Democrats would have little incentive to follow through on that promise. 2) Ah, but there would still be at least a weak, third-best incentive–Cornyn’s “triggers,” ...

The reason for amnesty first and enforcement second is that they can implement the first part and then ignore the second part in order to leave the door open for the tens of millions more Latinos and others who will be especially energized by Amnesty.Once the first part of the Act is accomplished the second part is can be ignored because the amnesty, once given, cannot be undone. Citizenship for everyone in the world who wants it is the goal. Democrats have said before that everyone in the world should be able to vote in American elections because what the USA does affects the rest of the world.
