Immigration Wait
 |
Despite wide bipartisan support, comprehensive immigration reform has just been derailed in the Senate. In the November/December 2006 issue of Foreign Affairs, Tamar Jacoby of the Manhattan Institute argued that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe immigration is good for the U.S. economy. Rather than pandering to a small minority of hardliners, Jacoby urged Washington to seize the moment and implement meaningful reform by offering earned citizenship to 12 million illegal immigrants. Yet, after Thursday's vote, immigration reform has been moved to the backburner once again and seems unlikely to pass anytime soon.
