That’s an amusing description of the McCain-Kennedy bill. Who’s that famous Massachusetts co-sponsor again? Immigration will be a big McCain vulnerability. Think-tank types, some inside-Washington conservatives, and business interests might like what he’s proposing, but it’s a huge loser among grass-roots conservatives. McCainiacs are fooling themselves if they think this is a wash for them. And as far as I’m concerned, the more they fool themselves the better, because McCain only wins the nomination if he wages a full-throttled, clear-eyed campaign to woo the right, including on immigration.
