Nitze is so all over the map in this, my point would get lost if I try to cover his twists and turns.
Most of the conservatives I know are for humane immigration reform. Translates out to round them up, identify the entire problem and scope and then sort from there. An estimated 82% of all illegals in the nation will not be able to pass the criteria to be here. Which means applying for a guest worker pass isn't going to cut it either.
That means millions of illegals, most of them Hispanic need deporting.
Nitze is making this sound like it's a barter. Give Obama something, he'll give back. This is not how law works. Politics, sure.
The DREAM act didn't make it because it was lousy legislation that added a tremendous burden onto legal americans on behalf of illegal foreign nationals. A child born here is an american. But they are a child under emancipation law which makes them under the responsibility of their illegal parents. When that legal american child meets our emancipation requirements, then by all means, come back home.
Nitze favors Secure Communities and has said so from the start. Then when it comes down to hard times politically, he mixes it up in this jumble in his column.
The law is the law. The only reason more are being deported has nothing to do with Obama or Bush. It has to do with our boots on the ground and better enforcement.

No thanks to politics.
