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.

This type of attack frosts me. The WH has lost any connection it ever had with ordinary Americans. The breaking point was the Harriet Miers fiasco, when the WH decided that conservatives, not Teddy Kennedy, were the enemy. So the folks in the WH, with no real data to work on, imagine that their opponents on the right operate from base motives.

They are worse than liberals in this regard, because they ought to know better.

I wonder if the drop out rate is higher in “multi-lingual” vs. “english only” schools.

Heather MacDonald's salient point is not only do Hispanics refuse to assimilate into American society, by their behavior, they reject its cultural precepts. Americans are welcoming of immigrants who play by the rules and show a genuine desire to become Americans and develop patriotic feelings towards it, speak our language and contribute to our country. They are also hostile to people who flout our laws, reject speaking English and demand an entitlement from this country while at the same time showing no loyalty towards it. This characterizes of course, illegal aliens. The elite does not understand Americans' resentment of illegals is of not course not rooted in nativist xenophobia as it would like to conveniently believe but in timeless American principle. The White House would like to abandon principle in the pursuit of political calculation; the American people want to uphold principle.

I'm not afraid of illegal immigrants. It just came as kind of a shock when my state became part of the Aztlan Empire. I handle the language fairly well and my wife is fluent in it so we get along. Another 10 years and a Democrat administration in Washington and we'll all be pressing uno for Español. It's a Brave New World and it sucks but there you are.

“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...

Laura Ingraham is just speaking about Heather MacDonald and this article right now...

OK Heather, but why, pray tell, do you continue to endorse the biggest multiculturalist and pro-immigrant candidate in the race? I know that you are pro-choice, but don't throw your brain out the window.

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.

Can we those, who are alienated from the countries mores and in love with foreigners, “alienists”?
