Peggy....nice to see she hasn't been completely overcome by the vapors Ve shall see, paraphrasing Kommandant Klink. One robin does not a spring make.

It will be interesting to see if Peggy Noonan's column will be noticed by the WH or the Media...I am pretty sure the Blogosphere will notice it. Agree, it is her best piece in years. In the past four years, I have argued in this space that nothing can or should be done, no new federal law passed, until the border itself is secure. That is the predicate, the commonsense first step. Once existing laws are enforced and the border made peaceful, everyone in the country will be able to breathe easier and consider, without an air of clamor and crisis, what should be done next. What might that be? How about relax, see where we are, and absorb. Pass a small, clear law—say, one granting citizenship to all who serve two years in the armed forces—and then go have a Coke. Not everything has to be settled right away. Only controlling the border has to be settled right away.
