Hey, I thought to myself, maybe they&#8217;ve resolved some of the disputes among the various pro-amnesty factions that had been delaying the presentation of a bill. Eagerly anticipating some new development or formulation I made the time to read the op-ed all the way through.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing.<\/p>\n<p>No specifics whatsoever. I thought I was reading an op-ed from 2001 (or 2002 or 2003 or 2004 or . . .). It&#8217;s just the same grand bargain of amnesty and increased immigration in exchange for promises of future enforcement (their version includes a biometric national ID card), without any details about how legalization would work or how many indentured servants would be provided to cheap-labor employers each year. It&#8217;s not clear why the Post even agreed to publish the piece, other than it seemed salient in anticipation of Sunday&#8217;s illegal-alien-palooza on the Mall. Until labor agrees to support an indentured labor program for &#8220;temporary&#8221; workers, business isn&#8217;t going to back any bill and nothing&#8217;s going to move.
