Shikha Dalmia on How the Gang of 8's Immigration Reforms Will Empower Bureaucrats and Hurt Employers

Immigration reform might not be able to fix every shortcoming of U.S. policy, writes Shikha Dalmia. But it at least shouldn't make matters worse.

Nevermind that the only jobs protected will be those of labor bureaucrats.
