Legalization - The Stars Begin To Align The 7 to 10 million undocumented aliens in the US represent a major social and legal crisis. The huge numbers of the undocumented stagger the imagination - nearly 1 in 30 people in America is an undocumented alien. This is not just a legal crisis, it represents a collapse of statesmanship and borders on a political/social calamity. Often, people look at this as an enforcement problem, but it is deeper than that - the problem is not just with enforcement of the law, the problem is the law itself. The law is being broken because the law itself is broken - the law on the books does not work for the real America outside of the Beltway.
Immigration law, a creature of the DC elite, is out of sync with America. Immigrants across the world seek economic opportunity in their journey to America. Complementing that supply of immigrants is the need in the American economy for large numbers of immigrant labor at various levels. Unfortunately, the DC elite view immigration primarily in terms of international social work instead of the needs of the economy. Refugees, the Diversity Lottery, and above all, Family-based immigration dominate thinking and policy in government and in the numerous interest groups busy in the immigration field - both on the pro-immigration and the anti-immigration sides. Instead of being the heart of the discussion, America's desparate need for large scale Employment-based immigration is consigned to the periphery of the immigration debate.
This state of affairs has made the undocumented problem into the Elephant in the Room - everyone knows about the problem, but hardly anyone wants to talk about it. However, the inevitable can only be delayed, not denied - we believe that a massive legalization program is inevitable. Recent events lead us to believe that the political stars may finally be aligning the right way for massive legalization, the Washington Times reports "All eight of the Democratic presidential contenders at [last] Thursday's debate embraced amnesty for illegal aliens now in the United States." Going into the Presidential election in 2004, it is hard to imagine President Bush not responding in some way to this initiative. When, not If, is the only issue still to be decided about a legalization program that would embrace millions.
