Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and constitutional lawyer Clint Bolick have teamed up in the book "Immigration Wars,"to provide a common sense approach to our on-going problem of immigration. Both authors expressed concern that neither political party has stepped up to make the tough decisions that are necessary not only to provide our country with protection of its culture and traditions, but also to expand opportunities for immigrants with the skills and knowledge to grow our economy. With our cumbersome laws and regulations, we are losing our ability to recruit skilled immigrants to other countries who are also competing for these workers.
The authors present a six plan approach beginning with fundamental reform followed by a demand-driven immigration system; an increased role for the states (this is not just a federal government issues); how to deal with the current illegal immigration problem how to protect our borders and finally how to teach civics and our nation's founding values. Our country can no longer afford to quick fix the immigration issue. Adding more laws to fix long standing problems only makes them difficult to enforce and increases the influx of illegal immigrants.
For those who are interested in a brief history of how our immigration laws evolved and other approaches to solving our current immigrant issues, this book is a good read.
