It should indeed be repulsive. Eventually, the rights of the "upper class" will be diminished.

I guess slavery's cheerleaders never really went away.

The "New World Order" is simply the "Old World Order" reasserting itself...

I agree with your proposals, and I would add that we need to seriously revamp the means by which people are able to come here legally. SOME of the impetus for people to immigrate illegally, is born of frustration with the effort required to do it legally; the uphill battle against paperwork, bureaucrats, and interminable delays.

NOTE: I do NOT mean WEAKEN the process; I mean STREAMLINE it.

It does not need to be as hard as it is.
It does not need to take as long as it does.
It does not need to be so error-prone.
It does not need to be so complex as to require the services of immigration attorneys.

Bump on this.

I'm listening to Rick Roberts on KFMB and he's talking about it right now.

I flat-out don't believe this comment was made.

1. It isn't sourced other than "a Congressman's wife". Easy to hide a made-up quote with sourcing like that.

2. Karl Rove is quite aware of the feelings of many in the party on the immigration issue. He is not stupid enough to make a comment like this, because he knows full well it would be reported in the press and used by the anti-Bush people.

Shame on the National Review for having no better standards than the New York Times.
