What is his view on the illegal immigration issue?

Great question, so I entered immigration into the American Enterprise Online's search function. Guess what leaps out to me?

The Special Case of Mexican Immigration By Samuel P. Huntington

While Huntington is a registered dem, he doesn't tow the current dem party line.

From that article (which, I hope, reflects on the AEI on the whole):

President-elect Vicente Fox wants to remove all restrictions on the movement of Mexicans into the United States.

In almost every recent year the Border Patrol has stopped about 1 million people attempting to enter the U.S. illegally from Mexico. It is generally estimated that about 300,000 make it across illegally. If over 1 million Mexican soldiers crossed the border, Americans would treat it as a major threat to their national security and react accordingly. The invasion of over 1 million Mexican civilians is a comparable threat to American societal security, and Americans should react against it with comparable vigor.

Mexican immigration looms as a unique and disturbing challenge to our cultural integrity, our national identity, and potentially to our future as a country.
