Republicans who control Congress should commit themselves to achieve that relatively straightforward goal without adding so much poisonous legislative embellishment that Democrats balk. That doesn’t strike us as too high a price to settle the dreamers issue once and for all, though some Democrats will likely disagree. Congress has proved itself inept lately on many fronts, but here is one issue teed up and ready-made for success. Dreamers, Americans in every way but by the accident of their birth, are regarded with nearly universal sympathy. Isn’t it high time that lawmakers get one big, simple thing done?
