John:? as you think about WH organization, I would urge you to think about a position on immigration and labor--perhaps on the DPC.? There is currently a double lack of coordination in the Executive Branch on these issues:? (1) DHS, DOJ, HHS, Labor all have pieces, and (2) within DHS (since INS was broken up and tossed into various parts of?DHS), there is only weak coordination.

The long term fix is probably a new federal agency that collects the pieces from the departments and establishes a coherent policy process; but until that time the issues need high level and coordinated?attention at the WH level.
