LINDA CHAVEZ: A Moral Question for the GOP. Chavez is right on the moral question; the relevant question is how to get there. I believe the first thing we need to do is to control the borders, then deal honestly with the mess that our current immigration laws have left behind.

There is a forming consensus that something must be done, but not on when it must be done. I'm strongly of the view that border control must come first; after that, the rest should be easier.
