The immigration debate has challenged our nation since its
founding. But today, it divides Americans more stridently
than ever, due to a chronic failure of national leadership
by both parties. Here at last is an attainable resolution
guided by two core principles: first, immigration is vital
to America’s future; second, any enduring resolution must
adhere to the rule of law. Unfortunately, current laws
are so cumbersome and irrational that millions have
circumvented them and entered the United States illegally,
taxing our system to the breaking point. Jeb Bush and Clint
Bolick contend there are other unique factors currently at
play: America’s future population expansion will come solely
from immigrants. And for the first time, the U.S. must
compete with other countries for immigrant workers and their
skills. In the first book to offer a practical,
nonpartisan approach, Bush and Bolick propose a compelling
six-point strategy for reworking our policies that begins
with erasing all existing, outdated immigration structures
and starting over. From there, Immigration Wars
details their plan for advancing the national goals that
immigration policy is supposed to achieve: build a
demand-driven immigration system; increase states’ autonomy
based on varying needs; reduce the significant physical
risks and financial costs imposed by illegal immigration;
unite Mexico and America in their common war against drug
cartels; and educate aspiring citizens in our nation’s
founding principles and why they still matter. Here
too is a viable variation of the DREAM Act as a legal status
for children brought here illegally, and sound strategies
for the Republican Party to revitalize their ever-decreasing
core constituency. With Immigration Wars as a
beacon of hope, Americans can finally solidify a national
identity that is based on a set of ideals enriched and
reinvigorated by immigrants, most of whom fervently embrace
our core values—family, faith, hard work, education, and
patriotism.
