More Thoughts On Illegal Immigration
From Glenn Reynolds.
"The debate stinks: Most opponents of illegal immigration aren’t racists. Most supporters aren’t enemies of American civilization. The immigration problem is hard because it pits two things we care about — freedom of opportunity and control of our borders — against one another. It’s also made harder because people fear that immigrants — without the pressures of earlier eras — won’t try very hard to assimilate. Those fears may be overblown, but they’re real, and the cries of racism, plus the occasional bit of Aztlan-irredentism from the fringes (calling for the reconquest of California, Arizona, etc., by Mexico), make them stronger".
Every, single person in the US comes from immigrant stock, including the native Americans. I have no problem at all with legal immigration. I have a major problem with illegal immigrants coming to the US and demanding the same rights as citizens and legal immigrants. I frankly think the organizers of these mass protests have done more harm to the cause of the illegals than any good.

Wake up, little Susie, wake up.
Large gatherings of vocal and photogenic illegals, complete with signs and flags, ready and willing to allow MSM to video tape their protest, is the best way I can imagine for Joe Sixpack to get the message: They’re here, there’s way more of them than you ever imagined, and they think you owe them. Incidentally, they don’t give a damn if we’re at war or not. Their needs come first.

Yeah, it’s not a good thing.

You try going to Mexico and telling them you have the “right” to break the law.

An American can not even own land in Mexico. Nice, huh?
