The Andrew Ferguson piece in the Weekly Standard (subscribe to NR!) that Ramesh refers to is one of several responses to a symposium asking “On what issue or issues (if any!) have you changed your mind in the last 10 years – and why?” JPod cited the bitter lesson that the Speaker of the House can’t be the president, while Reuel Marc Gerecht mentioned his realization that the traditional religious classes needed to be engaged if democracy is to come to the Middle East. But I was most gratified by David Frum’s essay on the evolution of his thinking on immigration (and his kind words about my Center’s work), to the effect that the laws need to be enforced, amnesty is a mistake, and legal immigration should serve as an accompaniment to natural increase, not a substitute — “like wine with food.” Salut!
