Thomas Sowell: Republicans snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Thomas Sowell writing at National Review Online today likens the Republicans’ push for so-called ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ to something out of ‘Alice in Wonderland.’

Sowell:

Listening to discussions of immigration laws and proposals to reform them is like listening to something out of Alice in Wonderland.

Immigration laws are the only laws that are discussed in terms of how to help people who break them. One of the big problems that those who are pushing “comprehensive immigration reform” want solved is how to help people who came here illegally and are now “living in the shadows” as a result.

What about embezzlers or burglars who are “living in the shadows” in fear that someone will discover their crimes? Why not “reform” the laws against embezzlement or burglary so that such people can also come out of the shadows?

Reminder to readers!  The Senate-passed version of ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform’ will send more of your money to Refugee resettlement contractors whose job will be expanded.  They will be contracted to hook the newly legalized aliens up with jobs and social services that they do now  (and not very well!) for refugees.  And, that is why the contractors have been lobbying hard for amnesty—it is all about the money and Democrat voters!

There was a story on Sunday by Reuters that indicated Rep.Paul Ryan might be getting cold feet.  What! Finger in the wind perhaps?
