We've got all the Arabists coming out of the woodwork on this issue. I always knew it to be a problem, look at how the Norquist scandal got papered over way back when. But even I am surprised by their multitude and ideological tunnel vision. If the GOP's only hope is to coddle the Arabists (and more relevantly, their bag men?) then we probably deserve to take a fall. Maybe we'd learn a lesson.
Sad but true BUMP. I only hope the GOP wakes up that this division is on a wedge issue, that it grates every time the middle sees either side dancing about it, and that the GOP-run government starts legitimately policing the border and ports instead of putting up the 5% effort it does now. It'd sure help if they'd start with checking employers and colleges known as illegal havens.
