"Does anyone notice the dog that doesn’t bark? Sometimes the dog is sleeping, but sometimes he’s been poisoned.

The missing amnesty debate in Congress is a poisoned dog. In place of an open debate, we have shameless politics of pandering and deal-making behind closed doors. The non-debate in the House over the Senate amnesty bill will never be used as a model of civic discourse in our history books or high-school civics classes.

The secretive maneuvers by House Republican leaders to get an immigration bill to a conference committee is a shameless escape from accountability and honesty. It fails every test for transparency, common sense and responsible decision-making.

Obama’s actions demonstrate very clearly – for all but the willfully blind – that Republicans will never be able to match the pandering of Democrats on immigration enforcement. No matter how many compromises Republicans make, Democrats will always up the bid.

The only truly smart path out of that box for Republicans is to take a stand on principle, the principle of the rule of law. That means appealing to Hispanic voters on the same issues and with the same sincerity and realism with which they appeal to other voters."
