The Great Immigration Panic
3rd June 2008
When the nation’s premier newspaper welcomes those who are breaking the law and denigrates those who attempt to uphold the law, then I suggest it is indeed time to panic.
Note what is not said: None of these problems would exist if these people had just stayed home. And the problems would disappear if they would go back where they came from. I have no sympathy for those who create problems for themselves by doing unlawful things — and, according to all the data I’ve seen, a lot of Americans agree.
On the other hand, perhaps this is an encouraging sign that enforcement is working. We can hope.
