Bloomberg: There's Only One Way For Republicans To Stop Illegal Immigration

"Although the Senate last year approved comprehensive immigration legislation by a margin of more than 2 to 1, Speaker John Boehner has been unable to convince House Republicans that a path to citizenship -- or even legal status -- for undocumented immigrants is essential to resolving the issue. But there is something the House can do. It can begin to lay a basis for the kind of legislative deal that could pass in a year, maybe two, when Republicans face up to the fact that their future depends on it. Such a deal would achieve what many of the House's most vocal opponents of reform have long demanded: a crackdown on illegal immigration. The catch is that this crackdown will have little to do with the U.S.-Mexico border....The House has stalled progress on immigration reform. If it is going to make the nation wait for a solution, it should recognize that the place to stop the inflow is not at the point of entry, but at the point of hire." The Editors.
