Abstract: | High status “blue-ribbon” taskforces combine prestige organizations and notable participants to help solve complex problems
like immigration reform. Drawing on diverse views one of the ways they can reach common ground is through “grand bargains,”
in which each side gives up contested ground to reach a solution through which they gain a major goal. In immigration reform
proposals, this takes the form of trading legalization for enforcement. Yet, a closer look at this grand bargain suggestions
that the give and take is asymmetric, because the benefits of legalization are immediate and the capacity for effective enforcement
many years away. The Brookings-Duke Immigration Report suggests a possible way around this imbalance. |
