This started out with a liberal whine, then did a 180 degree turn. Also interesting is this poll.

I'm actually interested in the use of the term "strikingly divisive national debate".
It seems to me that the national discussion of this topic has been unitive, not divisive.
Massive majorities which cut across all the normal societal division lines have been demonstrated to support enforcing the law, deporting lawbreakers, and sealing the border.
In what way is that "divisive"?

No capture of a mother being separated from her son is a pleasure to behold. Wrong. This arrest was a pleasure to behold.

"No capture of a mother being separated from her son is a pleasure to behold."EXCEPT when she's a criminal beach who came here after being deported once, 9.1 mos pregnant for the express purpose of popping out a kid to "anchor" her here.
Deport the damn kid too while we're at it!

The media needs it to be divisive. That way, it will stew and brew and fester, and they can report on the ill will and chaos that results.
Think about it. If everybody was happy and fullfilled, the media support would drop off dramatically.
To a great extent, they make their money by praying on the fears and discontent that people have.

"There will be some unhappy consequences for the economy," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff warned. That could include labor shortages, pricey produce, jobs lost to other countries and up to $7 billion a year in lost taxes from immigrant workers. Does anybody, anywhere believe that this will not save us a heck of a lot more than $7 Billion in welfare benefits?
Besides, if it only costs 7 Billion Bucks to make us a nation of laws, it is money well spent.

So when will the owners of the church in Chicago be prosecuted? When will said church lose its tax-exempt status?
If this started happening, then you would see far fewer churches breaking the law to help illegal aliens.

So she sponged off a church for a year and thought she was going to be greeted in illegal LA like a hero. The gov doesn’t like it when you skip out of a court date.
Sanctuary in a church? Didn’t that go out of style 400 years ago?
I’m so glad the government up a stop to this.

Other industries are feeling the squeeze. There aren't enough crab pickers in Maryland (Good! More for me! I pick my own! Maryland crabs should be for the restaurant/tourist trade. The state makes a lot more money on restaurant crabs than they do on canned crab)
or horse walkers in Saratoga (Boo FReepin' hoo)
. Tourism bureaus all over the country are fretting about understaffing (and unemployment bureaus around the country are fretting about the lack of entry-level jobs. Whatever could be the solution to these twin problems?)
. Fewer immigrants will mean fewer landscapers (mow your own damn lawn)
, construction workers (pay a living wage)
, dishwashers (pay an American kid $10/hr)
and pizza delivery drivers (the nation screeches to a halt!)
. Americans who want to hire a housekeeper or nanny might have to search harder, and pay more (like people getting paid more is a bad thing?)

If she had been a fit mother she would have taken her son with her.

I know the director of the Illinois Minutemen, and she said that, since Sept. 11, 2001, illegal aliens have killed an average of 23 Americans per day. If more law-breakers are deported, that will save many American lives.

It is divisive because it is not a liberal stance. All liberal stances are moderate and fair. Anything in the middle or right is ‘controversial’ and ‘divisive”. Fixing social security is controversal, but leaving it be to go bankrupt is not. Monitoring terrorist by telephone is controversial, but letting people from muslim states into the country through the southern border is not. When the media are only surrounded by leftists, their faulty beliefs become the norm.

“this country isn’t in the business of suspending the enforcement of a statute while Congress mulls whether to change it.”
The country isn’t? Man, I’d have to say we’ve been doing a pretty good job of “faking” it then !!!

Sorry, I don’t do Geraldo. When he comes on Fox I change the channel as a matter of policy, because everything that comes out of his mouth is BS. I am waiting to read the newspaper story about Michelle Malkin, Ingraham and Coulter joining forces to beat the poop out of him and wipe that smirk off his ugly mug. Ditto for the radio. I turn it off.

Apparently not, but they have allowed heretic burning to lapse. You know how styles change.
