"...the Senate managed--contrary to the conventional wisdom of late April--easily to pass a sensible and comprehensive immigration reform bill."

"SENSIBLE?" - come on! Me thinks William Kristol has not been paying attention.

"Enough of them may come to realize that passing legislation they regard as flawed would be better than going home to the voters having achieved nothing."

I guess this means that Mr. Kristol finds terrible legislation passed for the sake of arguing "we did something" is better than no legislation. Talk about bad "policy guidance". Well, to hell with that I say.

I think we need a good bill rather than no bill, because the 1986 law was not a good one and is not working. The president has known since he was elected in 2000 that to get a bill, it must get through the Senate. He's still pulling for that objective, and we'll see whether he can succeed in getting something that improves what we have now.
