I’m at a conference in Canada (on immigration and terrorism) so unfortunately I can’t whoop it up with everybody. But the first question we need to ask is, now what will the administration do? Will the current enforcement initiatives, undertaken as kabuki to get the amnesty passed, be discontinued? In the current issue of the magazine, I have a list of things the president should do on his own to enforce the law on his own, without new legislation — will any of those initiatives be undertaken? How the president responds today to this defeat will have a big impact on his effectiveness (if any) on other issues during the rest of his term.
