VERY disappointed in Linda.
I’ve read several of her books and she always made a great deal of sense.
I was appalled by her column and her guilt-by-association application of racism to everyone with qualms about this amnesty plan.
Are there racists on the anti-amnesty side? Sure. Are there racists on the pro-amnesty side? Of course. Does either fact have any bearing whatsoever on whether the bill is a good idea? Of course not.
OTOH, I assume Linda is sincere in her opposition. Which just goes to show the extreme power of tribalism. What she views as an attack on her tribe must be definition be illegitimate.
Overall, her position just illustrates the insanity of any steps that will increase the “tribalization” of America. We desperately need a moratorium on immigration to allow assimilation to get a little bit ahead.
Same here, I've admired her in the past, but she really jumped the shark with this. She seems to be taking it personally, and there's no reason for her to.
