It blows my mind that Linda Chavez would write such delusional trash as this. From what I've seen of her, she is normally conservative on most issues. I guess she is just another adherent of the mentality that race trumps everything else, because there is no way she could not understand the impact of allowing 20 million unchecked illegals into this country at once, who maintain ties to their home country right next door.

I wonder how she explains all the Americans of Mexican descent who are against illegal immigration?

The same way we can explain a similar phenomenon in Western Europe, in which the first generation of Muslim immigrants is far less radical and far more assimilated than the second generation thereof and its European-born descendants.

She was too busy playing the race card that she probably forgot about that small detail.

She placed herself down to Paul Krugman's level with this column, and I'm tired of being called a xenophobe when my concern - along, I'm sure with most everyone else, is national security.

I live in the southern tip of a border state, and I guarantee you if I had a problem with the Hispanic community, I'd realize that I was definitely in the wrong area for an attitude like that.
