For those who think that relaxing our laws does not create a magnet, they need to go to Central America and talk to the people who would be taking advantage of this. Finally, let me say this about leadership: in split government with three branches, equal branches, you don't get what you want. Leadership is pulling together the coalitions to talk to people and ask: ``What part of this law can we agree on? And what can we do about it?'' That is what leadership is about. The President has that opportunity to show leadership now that he is going to have a new Congress and a new Senate to work with. The way to get things done is to reach out and work with people and not to be in your face against them.
