The article starts out strong but ends wimpy.

Maybe most of all we work hard for full incorporation of immigrant populations into our respective nations

Maybe most of all we find a way to justify deportation.

Centrist "good immigration" attempts can easily be twisted into the same failures we now have as people mince words to attempt to be politically correct while 'reforming' the existing system.

And where is the issue of profiling mentioned? Have to address that too, or get trampled by leftist lawyers.

... here is the kind of emergency one gets if one tries to merely 'incorporate' :
The Supreme Court there held that the harsh immigration laws passed in 1996 did not authorize the INS to imprison immigrants indefinitely after they had served their time under the criminal justice system. Attorney General Ashcroft said that the decision had caused an 'emergency situation.' According to the Attorney General, "the result of the Supreme Court's ruling is that criminal aliens will be released from detention onto the streets of America simply because their countries of origin refuse to live up to their obligations to take them back under international law."

Have you noticed, it's those that support immigration who are the racists? They're assuming that people of certain nationalities, working for change in their homelands, cannot make a difference. The United States taking in those willing to work hard for a living wage and those who have been trained for careers is not the way to lead those countries to reform and provide meaningful opportunities for their citizens.

Look at Mexico...it depends on its citizens going to America so they can send billions of dollars to their homelands. I respectfully suggest that Mexico and other countries figure out how to run their countries without American money, unless it's for goods they've produced and exported!
