In this Corner and punch drunk

Members of the Gang of Eight, in C.C.W.'s fevered imagination.

Mr. Charles C.W. (Country Western) Cooke in this Corner:

1.  the Gang of Eight’s bill is far-reaching — “comprehensive,” if you will — and it quietly and radically changes the legal immigration regime as well. 
2. [quoting Mr. Hinderaker]  Instead of reforming our Ted Kennedy-inspired, irrational 60s-era immigration regime, it perpetuates it and even makes it worse.
3. This is exactly what it does, once again eschewing merit-based immigration for a family-based system and privileging low-skilled immigration uber alles.

Plus ça ne change pas, the more radically different it is?
