Looks like ‘centrist’ Republicans have found a way to scream ‘racist’ at those who disagree with them.
Thanks for the post.
If anyone can refute the advocates of amnesty and illegal aliens it is Heather McDonald. And, she does it with real numbers.
They are worse than liberals in this regard, because they ought to know better.

“They are worse than liberals in this regard, because they ought to know better.”
That’s just it - they ARE liberals.
I wonder if the drop out rate is higher in “multi-lingual” vs. “english only” schools.

I'm not sure that's fair. They are certainly not conservatives. But to lump them with Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, and Al Gore would remove all meaning from the word, "liberal."
The WH has pursued some generally conservative initiatives (ones that drive Teddy and John and Al nuts) successfully. And, the WH actually understands that we are at war, something that the left will never recognize until their granddaughters are in Burkhas. Even when that happens, the leftists' silly ideology will require that they celebrate Burkha diversity, as long as the Islamists don't touch their wealth. So I don't think calling the WH liberal is fair. Plus, we lose a word that makes a meaningful distinction in politics.
What I am complaining about is that, even when the WH is wrong and adopts a liberal position, it still expects conservatives to line up and support it--eg, CFR, No Child Left Behind, Illegal Immigration. When we don't, the WH gets pissy and starts calling us names. Funny he never takes off the gloves with Teddy, only the folks who put him in the WH twice.

Well said. I speak Spanish fluently, have traveled all over Mexico (except to tourist places like Acapulco and Cancun), lived on a Mexican ranch for 6 months where I was the only “Bolillo” there. I actually think popular Mexican music is better than the hip-hop moron “music” that pollutes our airwaves. Most of the illegals are good people. It’s our politicians who are betraying us.
But we can’t absorb everyone in the world who wants to come here. This amnesty bill tells the world that amnesty bills are forever. We will never have any good faith enforcement of our laws. We have surrendered, come on in.
“here are some factors that influence less partisan observers of the immigration mess: respect for the rule of law and a desire to show fairness to foreigners who comply with our immigration policies. In the American heartland, it is illegal aliens’ disregard for U.S. immigration rules that most infuriates the public.”
yes that’s it in a nutshell...
To penalize peple who are applying to be REAL immigrants is hardly the actions of an America that believes in fairness and equality and the rule of law...
And to reward the cheating and puedo-Gengis Khan actions of the illegal aliens in such a cavalier fashion creates a slave-race of the American citizen tax-payers...
The N-word in this case was omitted from your excerpt: Nativism.
Sub-titles are important.
Laura Ingraham is just speaking about Heather MacDonald and this article right now...
Let's not forget that the majority of the illegals are from the bottom of their respective societies and are essentially hillbillies in the worst sense of the term. Meanwhile, my Colombian and Venezuelan colleagues, all of whom have college educations and would not be a drain on society, are put through hell by ICE.
I hate illegal immigration, but still despise ICE for its misplacement of priorities.
Interestingly enough, most of the TRUE guest workers are NOT a problem. Whether its the Argentinean kids working at the ski resort I go to, the Filipino techs I know who are here on work visas, or the Poles who were working all of the concessions on the boardwalk last week, I know such folks were screened, and tend to be those with initiative and functioning brains. I can't say the same for the most of the illegals, and I live in the most illegal-tolerant region of the country.
Most folks I know learn English the old fashioned way: from popular media (television, movies, etc.). The youth in their ethnic ghettos don't have much of an interest in Mami's novelas, I am happy to report.
