A LITTLE AT A TIME V. THE WHOLE ENCHILADA

One of the debates that has raged in the pro-immigration community over the last few years has been whether immigration should be fixed in a comprehensive way and attempt to pass one bill that fixes as many problems as possible or to try and make incremental changes. The comprehensive camp had carried the day for the last few years and smaller proposals were pushed aside. When immigration reform failed last year, initially there was no appetite for any legislation - big or small. Now it appears the incrementalists are having a little success. Unless Democratic leaders decide to take up another comprehensive bill this year - something I've suggested would deliver political dividends - look for the incremental approach until at least after the presidential election.

Who are the incrementalists and who are the excrementalists?

Incrementalists are having a little success?? Tell that to Mikulski and Stupak.
