Over at Power Line, Paul Mirengoff thinks Tony Blankley may be pointing the way to a workable compromise on immigration. I like Blankley’s piece. It’s certainly pushing in the direction of the sort of solution that I hope might get us out of our substantive and political troubles on immigration. But then there’s that Robert Samuelson piece Derb linked to earlier today. If Blankley is right that the guest worker program is the place to compromise, Samuelson shows that even there, the numbers will have to come down. Again, it’s going to be up to the House Republicans to either stand tough for a genuine compromise, or shoot down a bad bill. Any way you slice it, this whole immigration mess shows how important it is to keep the house in Republican hands.
