The N.Y. Times’ Modest Proposal to the GOP

From one of today’s Times editorials: “Given the topics that have preoccupied Congress lately, one wonders why the Republicans don’t simply propose a catchall bill aimed at illegal gay liberal Mexican flag burners and be done with it.”
Why not indeed?

N.Y. Times:

... Given the topics that have preoccupied Congress lately, one wonders why the Republicans don’t simply propose a catchall bill aimed at illegal gay liberal Mexican flag burners and be done with it. The immigration debate has been obscured for too long by a fog of distortion and fear, and the House Republicans are gambling that the public won’t see through it. The American people deserve better. They deserve action on a good immigration bill, and if this do-nothing Congress won’t give it to them, they should elect a Congress that will.
