Compromise Virtually Guarantees Noncompliance
By George Will

WASHINGTON - Compromise is incessantly praised, and has
produced the proposed immigration legislation. But
compromise is the mother of complexity, which, regarding
immigration, virtually guarantees -- as the public
understands -- weak enforcement and noncompliance.

Although the compromise was announced the day the Census
Bureau reported that there now are 100 million nonwhites
in America, Americans are skeptical about the legislation,
but not because they have suddenly succumbed to nativism.
Rather, the public has slowly come to the conclusion that
the government cannot be trusted to mean what it says about
immigration.

In 1986, when there probably were 3 million to 5 million
illegal immigrants, Americans accepted an amnesty because
they were promised that border control would promptly
follow. Today the 12 million illegal immigrants, 60 percent
of whom have been here five or more years, are as numerous
as Pennsylvanians; 44 states have populations smaller than
12 million. Deporting the 12 million would require police
resources and methods from which the nation would rightly
flinch. So, why not leave bad enough alone?

Concentrate on border control, and workplace enforcement
facilitated by a biometric identification card issued to
immigrants who are or will arrive here legally. Treat
the problem of the 12 million with benign neglect. Their
children born here are American citizens; the parents of
these children will pass away.

Under current immigration policies, America is importing
another underclass, one "with the potential to expand
indefinitely," according to Heather Mac Donald of the
Manhattan Institute. To sentimentalists who cling to "the
myth of the redeeming power of Hispanic family values, the
Hispanic work ethic, and Hispanic virtue," she says:

From 1990 to 2004, Hispanics accounted for 92 percent of
the increase in poor people. Only 53 percent of Hispanics
earn high school diplomas, the lowest among American ethnic
groups. Half of all children born to Hispanic-Americans in
2005 were born out of wedlock -- a reliable predictor of
social pathologies.

The legislation supposedly would shift policy from
emphasizing family unification to emphasizing economic
criteria (skills) when setting eligibility for immigrants.
Critics will say this will sunder families. But the sunder-
ing has happened; it was done by illegal immigrants who
left family members behind and are free to reunite with
their families where they left them.

Anyway, the supposed shift from emphasizing family
relations -- the emphasis that results in "chain migration"
-- to economic merit may be diluted to nothingness. It is
highly suspicious that there was a rush -- fortunately
stymied -- to pass this legislation through both houses
and get it to conference, where the majority of
participants will be Democrats eager to court Hispanic
votes.

Some Democrats argue that liberalism's teetering achieve-
ment, the welfare state, requires liberal immigration
policies. The argument is: Today there are only 3.3 workers
for every retiree. In January, the first of 77 million baby
boomers begin to retire. By the time they have retired, in
2030, there will be 2.2 workers for every retiree -- but
only if the work force is replenished by 900,000 immigrants
a year.

On Monday, however, Robert Rector of The Heritage
Foundation stunned some senators who heard his argument
that continuing, under family-based immigration, to import
a low-skilled population will cost the welfare state far
more than the immigrants' contributions to the economy
and government. He argued that low-skilled immigrants are
costly to the welfare state at every point in their life
cycle, and are very costly when elderly. Just the
9 million to 10 million illegal adults already here will,
if given amnesty, cost an average of $300,000 -- cumulative-
ly, more than $2.5 trillion -- in various entitlements
(Social Security, food stamps, Medicaid, housing, etc.)
over 30 years.

To those who say border control is impossible -- often
these are the same people who said better policing could
not substantially reduce crime, until it did -- one answer
is: It took just 34 months for the Manhattan Project to
progress from the creation of the town of Oak Ridge in the
Tennessee wilderness to the atomic explosion at Alamogordo,
N.M. That is what America accomplishes when serious.

In an attempt to anesthetize people who sensibly say
"border control and workplace enforcement first,"
important provisions of the legislation would supposedly
be "triggered" only when control of the border is
"certified" by the president. But in what looks like a
parody of the Washington mentality, certification would
be triggered not by border control but by the hiring of
border control agents and other spending. So, the supposed-
ly hardheaded aspects of the legislation actually rest on
the delusion that spending equals the achievement of the
intention behind the spending. By that assumption, we have
long since tranquilized and democratized Iraq.
