Another Article I Won't Be Reading

Immigration Reform Isn't Just About Numbers--It's About Skills, Too

Since immigrants are disproportionately poorly educated, any overhaul needs to focus on bringing in fewer but more talented people.

DAVID FRUM

Yeah, because all these folks had with them in the 1800's was their DISSERTATION RESEARCH:

And really, Mr. Frum, Canadians like you don't need competition from overseas.   You act like there's a shortage of former speechwriter hacks we need to resolve.  

My Proposed Compromise with Republicans

So all over Morning Jehosephat today the meme is compromise:  We give you a  Minimum Wage Hike for you passing the Keystone XL pipeline.

No, really.

"Along with Keystone, Republicans are interested in offering amendments blocking regulations on coal, and boosting liquid natural gas exports."

Coal, fracking and Keystone.  And we'll LET you give the working poor a raise?

My counterproposal:

We let you pretend you are sorta not against and kinda for the minimum wage hike because you stop blocking it.

That's it.  That's the compromise.
