What CIR Opponents Support and Want

David Brooks has a nice op/ed on what opponents of immigration reform are really trying to do:

1.  “[I]mmigration opponents are effectively trying to restrict the flow of conservatives into this country.”

2.  “[I]mmigration opponents are trying to restrict assimilation.”

3.  “[I]mmigration opponents are trying to restrict love affairs.”

4.  “[I]mmigration opponents are trying to restrict social mobility. “

5.  “[I]immigration opponents are trying to restrict skills.

6.  “Finally, opponents of reform are trying to hold back the inevitable.”
