A Compromise Immigration Bill, and a Compromise on the Compromise
By Mark Krikorian on June 14, 2018
In Pardon My Sarong, Abbott and Costello are drifting on a boat becalmed in the South Seas with only two beans each left to eat. Abbott (the taller, smarter one) eats his two before Costello starts, and then insists, because they're 50/50 partners, that Costello give him one of his remaining beans: "You've got two beans and I haven't got any!" Costello complies, then cuts his remaining bean in half to eat it. Abbott again insists, "You've got two halves and I haven't got any!" Costello again complies, and then finally gets to eat one half of his original two beans.
The two immigration bills the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on next week should be named Abbott and Costello. The first is limited but nourishing, and the second is what remains after removing much of value.
