Steyn is right on. I've dealt with our immigration office for two adoptions and they are the worst kind of government bureaucrats. I think the only way they could improve this office is by firing everyone and starting over.

Deena Gilbey is a British subject whose late husband worked on the 84th floor: On the morning of Sept. 11, instead of fleeing, he returned to the building to help evacuate his co-workers. A few days later, Mrs. Gilbey receives a letter from the INS noting that as she's now widowed her immigration status has changed and she's obliged to leave the country along with her two children (both U.S. citizens). . . Why should illegal Mexicans be the unique beneficiaries of a sentimental blather about "family values" to which U.S. immigration is otherwise notoriously antipathetic?
Whatever happend to Mrs. Gilbey?
Mark Steyn is a gift from God.

Will they ever be fixed?
As Steyn said there are "298 million of us"
and 10-20-million of them.
Yet they are more important to Wall Street, our President, and both parties, the MSM, lobbyists, organized labor,than we are, 10-20million non-citizen criminals,are more important than 298 million VOTERS!
Today, tomorrow and for how long will everyone pander to them? At what cost? At what cost to you and I and our children?
They have now come out of the shadows and are defiant and disrespecting America. They will take our streets, our schools hostage again and again by protesting and make no mistake they are very well organized to take over.
Did you see the special on CNN showing their organizers? The leaders of the group are going to use them to gain what they want from America and it has sinister overtones.
Wall Street and the rich and powerful are addicted to slave labor. At what cost to 298 million of us?
Comnpanies get their slave labor and WE 298 million we get to pick up the tab as they get all the goodies, FREE healthcare, college, housing, food, utilities, medicaid and every other entitlement they can carry in their basket of freebie goodies the 298 million of us can give them.
But utoh suddenly we 298 million are saying wait a minute they are now overcrowding our schools and our children are suffering, they are overcrowding for free everything we 298 million are forced to pay for.
They are a DRAIN on 298 million of us YET they are getting what they want while we 298 million are getting the shaft!
Will we allow 10-20 million liberal socialist criminals to take over an entire country? Will we allow 10-20 million change red states to blue states?
There are 298 MILLION OF US! Let's ROLL!!!!
The first element?
-Islam, a Religion of Peace®? Some links...--
The other, somewhat interlocking element is this one:
-Thunder on the Border-- (Minuteman Project)--
Not yet, but within an hour, I will update these collections of links with further links connecting these two seemingly disparate groups. Stay tuned.
And I think that's the point.
Our "leaders" are going to milk so much outrage from us that we'll compromise and take anything they offer just to make it go away.
Very good article. He is right on target in saying that it is our complicated policies combined with the world's worst bureaucracy (the former INS) that have done a lot to get us into our current situation.
Much of our immigration law (quotas, etc.) has been manipulated under various administrations to bring in larger numbers of groups for some reason favored by the respective administration. Frequently, these groups seem to be from "developing" countries. That is one reason that it has always been extremely difficult for Europeans to get legal permission to live here. In addition, Europeans normally followed the procedures, reported to the INS on schedule, had legitimate addresses, etc., thus making them much easier to remove.
I had a British friend who was a teacher and ran a small day-care operation and applied diligently every few months for extensions, legal residency, etc. They wouldn't accept her because she spoke English and was a teacher (thus "competing" for American jobs). Finally she simply quit corresponding with the INS, moved, and sank into the vast illegal world and did very well for herself for years, eventually marrying an American and being able to straighten things out.
Our immigration law is so irrational and so politically motivated (no Europeans, lots of people from countries and cultures that hate us, "family reunification" for Third Worlders who go immediately to welfare or SSSI, etc.) that, as he points out, the vast numbers of illegals are a logical consequence of it.
BTTT
"...in search of fake ID from the illegal-alien assistance network that hangs around there. Luis Martinez-Flores, who'd been living here illegally since 1994,..."
Which is a direct connection between the porous southern border and the 9-11 attack...not that it matters.

Steyn's wrong about one thing. The next forty million illegals will be here long before 2025.

Please ping me when you pull these together; I always appreciate your thoughts.
I guess "anchor babies" only work if you are illegal.
