There is no grand bargain worth having that Obama would ever
offer. Closed door grand bargain negotiations are a mechanism to shift
the blame for failure to Republicans. The House should continue to pass
bills and let the Senate Democrats choke on them. In immigration as well
as budgets, the key is to pass bills in the House that seem reasonable and let
Harry Reid explain why they don't pass the Senate. For example, a guest
worker program is a natural for Republicans. However, once such a bill
gets to the Senate it will die because the SEIU and the union farm workers
don't want a guest worker program to pass. The Senate would be unlikely to even
consider the bill. How would Senate failure to pass a guest worker bill
play with Hispanic voters? An expansion of H1B visas is another
Republican natural that the Democrat's organized labor allies hate. How
would the Senate failure to pass a House expanded H1B visas bill look to Asian
voters?
