"The point is that this is an article written by someone who makes his living defending illegals"

Have you read any of his other articles? Seems that representing immigrants becomes illegals to you. He may represent them, but seems you overlooked that legals also need lawyers from time to time. If a doctor specializing in oncology were to write an article pointing out problems with a proposal by the President about cancer, would you also make that same statement?

"Because his motive is to divide conservatives so that someone like Kerry can win the election, his facts are suspect."

Really? I see it as pointing out problems with a proposal, problems that others have forseen when the proposal was made. Maybe that is because I am judging him on his other articles and not on his profession, of course that gives him an inside view of what is going on (like a specialist doctor).

"Dane is pointing out that the author of this may have other motives than calling our attention to the immigration problem."

He also stated that he is basing it on the writers profession (attorney), thus he is stereotyping.

Well, it is possible that he is against illegal immigration, although it seems to me most immigrants who get in trouble with the INS do so because they are illegal.

No numbers in the article. Quotes of unnamed agents. I don't believe things like this when the New York Times uses those techniques, either.

That's all I really have to say. Those who want to believe this without question are apparently going to anyway.

He also stated that he is basing it on the writers profession (attorney), thus he is stereotyping

He's an immigration attorney. He probably has represented illegals and people who have had trouble with the INS.

This guys article should be the new definition of the word irony, IMO.
