America’s first language is that of the market, reflected in poll driven language mouthed by political figures. Our second language, the language of spiritual morality, was evident in Pope Francis’s call for us to welcome immigrants. Congressional applause for the pontiff’s speech had barely died down when we returned to our first language.

Perhaps conservatives should show greater appreciation of President Obama. After all, he based his new policy of acceptance for undocumented arguments by making conservative arguments.
