Michelle Malkin on Hugh Hewitt MONDAY (11/25) at 5pm: "How should the GOP deal with immigration?"

FReep ALERT!

Nationally syndicated "center right" conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt
has confirmed today that
Michelle Malkin



will be a guest on the "Hugh Hewitt" radio program:

MONDAY (11/25/02)
5:20 pm (California time)
8:20 pm (East coast time)
Michelle's interview on the Hugh Hewitt show is timed to co-ordinate with her personal appearances in southern California to promote her new book, Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores:

Tuesday (11//26) - 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm - Book Signing
Borders Books - 1830 Westwood Blvd, Westwood, CA

Wednesday (11/27) - 6:30 pm - Book Signing/Speech
Garden Grove Women's Club - 9501 Chapman Ave., Garden Grove, CA

Like FR founder Jim Robinson, Hugh is apprehensive about the damage that the "immigration reform" movement can do to the "mainstream" image of the national Republican party, and has concerns that the leftist media can distort the actions of some of the more extreme elements in the movement to make the party appear to be racist, and anti-Latino.

Such a charge could effectively crush the Bush administration's outreach program to the huge (and growing) numbers of Hispanic voters who are in this country LEGALLY, but many my most passionate conservative FRiends have chosen to force this extremely important issue into the forefront of our political discussions.

Fortunately, Michelle Malkin may be the IDEAL person to lead this charge. Like Ann Coulter, she is a young attractive woman - which should not matter in the ideal world of well-reasoned political discourse, but really DOES matter in the superficial world of "television journalism." Good looks get her in the door, and then good THINKING delivers her powerful conservative message.

As I understand it, Michelle's brief appearance on Hugh's show this Monday is a "trail balloon" of sorts, to determine if she should be on his show again in the future - perhaps even as a regular weekly guest! - so please be on your best behavior. :o)
Let us show Hugh, and Jim Robinson - and President Bush! - that there **is** room in the GOP's "big tent" for BOTH serious proponents of immigration reform AND for advocates for an expanded Hispanic outreach...
You can LISTEN LIVE to Hugh's show over the Internet (or find a local station that carries his show) from his website, at:

I discovered Ms. Malkin on JWR (Jewish World Review) a few years ago and was very impressed with her love of America and her passion on keeping America safe from terrorists and illegal immigrants. Like a proud mama, I've watched her star rise over the years and she is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Why? Michelle Malkin simply tells the truth.

We are nearing the point where the recipe will be lost forever.

I view the factors behind our decline as a nation similarly. America is perilously close to the point of no return. Only some terrifically powerful new political movement that puts America's sovereignty and national interests first has a chance to turn this country around...peacefully. If this doesn't happen America is going to be Balkanized out of existence within 50 years.

I attended Ms Malkin’s speech, and book signing Wednesday night in Houston. She is truly an inspiration. Wait ‘till she recites the pledge the new citizens make. Your heart will sit up and take notice, until she mentions there is a move a foot for the new citizens to recite the pledge in Spanish. Put off the Christmas shopping,leave work early, or whatever. You don’t want to miss her.

"...Malkin, the daughter of Filipino immigrants, was born in Philadelphia in 1970 and raised in southern New Jersey.
She is a graduate of Oberlin College..."
Hey, Hugh!
Oberlin College is in Ohio!
Now, you guys have TWO things on common:
1 - She apprciates the power of Christian Radio, and
2 - She went to school in Ohio!
See also, from http://www.prismnet.com/~wonka/football/Heisman.htm:
"...The Heisman trophy was originally called the Downtown Athletic Club award (DAC), and was originally presented to the top player East of the Mississippi.

The DAC commissioned Frank Eliscu to sculpt the Trophy. Eliscu used Ed Smith from New York University as the model. Smith would not know he was the person on the Trophy for 50 years. Eliscu was born in New York City, July 13,1912. He passed away on June 19, 1996 in Sarasota, Fl. at the age of 83.

Following the death of the Athletic Director for the DAC in October of 1936, The DAC renamed the Trophy after it's AD, John Heisman.

Johann Wilhelm Heismann was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1869. He changed his name to John William Heisman when he enrolled in Brown University. He played Tackle for Brown. He then transfered to Pennsylvannia where he lettered for two years.

Following graduation from Penn., Heisman became a coach rather than an Attorney. Heisman began his coaching career in 1892 at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio...

As long as pukimo molakai Malkin concurs that all Philipino visa applications should be subjected to the same scrutiny as those from Saudi Arabia, she has credibility.

Someone should ask her the question.

You got it.
I must have missed something in the 9/11 coverage, though...
Which of the terrorists that killed three thousand Americans was from the Philippines?

To have any validity, your argument (such as it is) SHOULD be:

As long as pukimo molakai Malkin concurs that all Philipino visa applications should be subjected to the same scrutiny as those from Mexico, she has credibility.
You COULD argue that, absent any terrorist connection, all visas should be evaluated in the same manner.

I agree with that, but the Philipines are a hotbed of Islamic terrorist activity (as hard as it is to believe).

The USA has troops on the ground right now helping the Philipino Government weed out the heretics.

Sorry.
You are correct.
I posted too rapidly, assuming that you were attacking Michelle.
I should have known better.
IMHO, visas from ANY country where there is known to be terrorist activity deserve greater scrutiny - including the homelands of MY ancestors, in Germany and Ireland. (LOTS of dangerous kooks from BOTH of those places: Bader Meinhof, IRA, etc.)
Please forgive my presumption of malicious intent. These kinds of (potentially emotional) threads sometimes bring out the WORST in people, including me. :(

The GOP should hand out citizenship like it is candy. It's what they want to do. The pandering is much sweeter when it costs the Party nothing.

RonDog - thanks for your efforts to make this interview happen.

Unfortunately the GOP is united around the notion of reintroducing amnesty-like legislation in short order. Hugh will undoubtedly continue to argue for that GOP position, but Michelle might be able to at least expose some chinks in the GOP armor for later.

As for your statement:

Please consider that besides the much mentioned obvious security risks involved with present INS policy and practice, legal immigrants are one of the most vocal groups concerned about the unfair advantages given to illegals as presently practiced and as would be enabled by any form of amnesty. How would you react knowing all your efforts to become a citizen could be circumvented by disease-ridden welfare-cheats being given amnesty without effort? Oh, yes, I don't buy the nonsense about only legitimate workers being the only ones allowed in. The amnesty apologists like to fool themselves that enforcement of laws would occur any differently than presently.

Thanks again for bringing this serious issue to the forefront, as I left Hewitt behind long ago in favor of the other competing concurrent radio show addressing "borders, language, culture." Perhaps Hugh can help the GOP and Jim Robinson get back on course.

Drop the racism, secure the borders and stop the invasion.

Could this be a real change from Hugh's former cheerleading of GOP amnesty issues?
