“It comes down to whether conservatives are willing to trade something
beyond headcount, beyond fantasies of a US in which the undocumented are
deported in vast numbers and the border is miraculously closed as it has
never been since 1965… Conservatives, however, are not the only ones who
need to show some flexibility. Let me admonish my friends in the mainstream
center right and left. Conservatism is a thing. Get used to it. Learn the
theory and the vocabulary… So to my liberal friends, have a little more
confidence in your own values. Be tolerant of others, Be prepared to accept
that conservatives have some valid points, and that creating a workable
system implies incorporating some of those considerations. You won’t melt,
and the world won’t end because you conceded the validity of some
conservative concerns.”

“We have now more than a year before migrant policy is likely to
resurface on the legislative agenda. While my readers left and right
are pondering who is allowed to talk to whom, I am thinking about the
data and analyses we will need to answer some fundamental questions
about policy options — and about the time and money implied. For
policy-setting purposes, we don’t really know enough about the
demographics of the undocumented residents in the country. And we know
almost nothing about corporate hiring behavior in the real world with
respect to undocumented migrants. Both will be critical to creating
sustainable policy. Further, we will require months to resolve certain
disputed points between liberals and conservatives. But importantly,
the key is not to convince the other guy of one’s moral superiority,
but to craft a deal for each stakeholder which is superior to the
alternatives from their own perspective. That is the key condition for
success. Because we are dealing with a black market, that opportunity
exists — if the stakeholders are willing to contemplate a broader deal
beyond pure headcounts. There is a lot of work to be done. Instead of
complaining about the other guys, let’s use the time to organize
ourselves and work through the issues at the policy level.”
