We know from a flurry of news stories the last 24 hours that the Republican leaders of the House think that most illegal aliens under a certain age have a compelling case for being granted an amnesty.  What we don't know is whether either leader has given any thought to: (1)  Who is responsible for putting the "kids" into a predicament that makes their amnesty case compelling? (2) How do you keep another generation of illegal-alien parents from putting their children in the same predicament? (3) How do you minimize the harm to U.S. citizens if an amnesty is granted?
