Immigration jujitsu?

Here's a link to the Register's editorial on the Bush administration's promise to step up immigration enforcement, especially against employers. It note that Homeland Security honcho, the cadaverous Michael Chertoff, has predicted it would hurt the economy. This reninforces the idea that perhaps the administratioon's real intent is to show that enforcement-only creates more problemns than it solves, forcing others to take a second look at a path to legality. Steve's work.
