Immigration Nation

On newsstands October 31.

Immigration is one of the most controversial issues on the American political scene, notes the Manhattan Institute's Tamar Jacoby in the new issue of Foreign Affairs, but the irony is that there is actually a strong and sensible national consensus on how to deal with the problem: embrace and expand the "market-based" approach championed by the Bush administration. That means amnesty for illegal immigrants already here, increased quotas for temporary workers (with the possibility of graduation to full citizenship down the road), and stepped-up enforcement of all the laws on the books.

In the Middle East, meanwhile, the era of American primacy has come to a close, argues Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass. The new age that follows will feature a less prominent American role, a rising Iran, a weak and violence-wracked Iraq, continued stagnation in the peace process, and a further turn to political Islam. Washington needs to acknowledge the true nature of the new situation and start relying on diplomacy rather than simply military power to advance its interests.

Also in this issue: an all-star panel of international experts assesses the fallout from the recent fighting in Lebanon; Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann trace the disastrous consequences of Congress' failure to oversee foreign policy; and a look at just how humanely the U.S. Army is actually fighting the war in Iraq.

The complete text of Jacoby's, Haass's and Kahl's articles, all book review essays, and more are available on the Foreign Affairs Web site — look for the label "full text" in the listing below. You may still receive this issue by mail if you subscribe to Foreign Affairs by December 26, 2006^*.
