Not really. Illegal immigration does not constitute a loss of sovereignty. We are still a fully sovereign nation, but we have neighbors who arrived outside of official channels, and we have to deal with it rather than ignore it or rant about some fantasy solution which will never happen.

I must say I was shocked a wee bit when the Dean policy flunkie came on TV tonight. She said how bad the Bush plan was for not being real amnesty, not giving the 'undocumented' a path to citizenship, and *then* saying that the 'friends she had which were undocumented immigrants' would not sign up for the guest worker plan but would remain
as illegals.

I was stunned. Dean's top domestic policy guru is cavorting with lawbreakers and thinks nothing of it.

I was fuming, telling myself: Why is nobody asking this woman "Well, as a patriotic American, why are you tellling your 'friends' to go home to their home country and quit breaking immigration law?"

Alas, this was Capitol Report and nobody rose to the challenge.

Illegal immigration, like other crimes (eg consider our drug problems), is not the end of the world, but it is a debasement of our society and culture. We need to end it.

If the solutions are too hard for you to handle, allow those of us who don't mind getting our hands dirty do the heavy lifting.

Dealing with it is the American way. Just letting things happen is a plan for disaster.
