The big problem in Bush’s plan is not necessarily that his ideas are bad individually, but that he wants a “comprehensive plan.”
I’m much more in favor of piecemeal plans addressing individual problem areas, because the overall situation is so skewed that there’s really no way to reform it.
A system that consistently lets in people with Muslim terrorist backgrounds (legally), keeps out people who want to work at jobs that are hard to fill with US citizens, lets non-citizen “families” bring in all their relatives (assuming they’re from certain special places, such as Africa or the ME), and permits total disorder at a physical border is not a system at all.
So start fresh by addressing each issue. “Comprehensive” never works, and it wouldn’t get by the Senate and Obama wouldn’t sign it anyway.
So now Jeb feels that illegal alien invasion isn’t an “act of love”? I’m confused.
