Immigration Law Pretty Much Optional

The advantage to having a bipartisan Gang of Eight write your immigration bill is that you can claim it was bipartisan. The disadvantage is that writing it takes so long that details get leaked out before the thing is safely passed.

Pretty much the whole bill, while calling for things like deportations and building border fences and whatnot, is at the option of the secretary of Homeland Security to do or not do as she sees fit.

The whole bill is just another "Look what we did instead of something" item.

Read the whole thing at NRO.
