Namely, private bills for individual immigrant cases. This simply illustrates how, when given a choice between crafting a solution and using the issue, Republicans will always opt for the latter. Why address comprehensive immigration reform, when they can use the issue to maintain and expand their power by spreading fear?
If there was any justice with respect to the issue, there would be literally millions of private bills. Not all undocumented aliens are without legal status due to any fault on their part. Most of them (surprise!) entered lawfully. And no, not all of them are Mexicans.
But, until the people of this country are ready to have a truthful, factual discussion about immigration, private bills may be about as good as it gets for a lot of deserving people. Including, I suspect, some you know.
