JIM BENNETT SAYS that he sees an emerging consensus on immigration: “Assimilation is going with the grain of American culture and history, and must be the focal-point of any attempt to address the problem. Securing the borders is a close second. Whatever the position of the major parties, I think the popular demand for reform is so strong that some poltician will emerge to ride that horse.”
