Conservative Columnist David Brooks Message to House Republicans: Pass the Immigration Reform Bill

New York Times columnist David Brooks argues that objections to the immigration reform bill made by fellow conservatives are weak.  On matters such as border security, economic growth, fertility rates, and fiscal discipline, the bill is in conformity with larger conservative goals, contends Brooks.

Brooks further contends that a GOP blockage of immigration reform could be a "tragedy" for the United States, and "political suicide" for the Republican Party.

David Brooks: The Republican-Controlled House Should Pass Immigration Reform

"Whether this bill passes or not, this country is heading toward a multiethnic future. Republicans can either shape that future in a conservative direction or, as I’ve tried to argue, they can become the receding roar of a white America that is never coming back."

----David Brooks, New York Times
