“President Bush’s immigration speech mostly missed the true nature of the problem. We face two interconnected population issues. One is aging; the other is immigration. We aren’t dealing sensibly with either, and as a result, we face a future of unnecessarily heightened political and economic conflict.

On the one side will be older baby boomers demanding all their federal retirement benefits. On the other will be an expanding population of younger and poorer Hispanics - immigrants, their children and grandchildren - increasingly resentful of rising taxes that subsidize often-wealthier and unrelated baby boomers. Does this look like a harmonious future?”
