These vigilante groups are emboldened by political demagogues who, for example, file federal legislation allowing bounty hunters to pursue immigrants.

Bounty hunters going after immigrants? Shouldn’t that read criminals? The last I heard, there was no bounty on legal imigrants.

Many in the anti-immigration movement feel we cannot reform the immigration system until we get control of our borders.

I don’t believe many are “anti-immigration”, but are against illegal entry.

However, since our system does not provide opportunities for legal immigration, people are pushed underground.

????

That is all I could read. The writer for the Boston Globe is so far out of touch with reality it is frightening.

"The writer is so far out of touch with reality......."

If that is the case, then FR is also out of touch.

The writer mentions his support for guest worker plans.

A recent poll of FR members show support of guest worker plans at over 2 to 1. 60% for and 28% opposed.

FR is a far right website and functions as an internet center of the anti immigrant crowd. It is safe to say, given the support at FR, that support of guest worker plans amongst the general population would be at 5, 6, or 7 to 1.

This is possibly the dumbest line ever written. It almost sounds as if the Boston Herald author is encouraging a pseudo-underground railroad to bypass the actual laws of the land.

There are a few who are against any type of immigration. I disagree with them but thats their perogative. However, this author makes it sound as being against illegal immigration is a horror. He also does not discern between legal immigration and illegal immigration.

He is an idiot. I would be willing to bet a sizable amount that he votes for Kennedy. Any takers? No? Didn't think so :)
