Typical progressive take on illegal immigration. His grasp of history is very limited(Ellis Island is overlooked) and he can't seem to understand that there is a big difference between the tenor of St. Paddy Day festivities and the so-called immigrant right marches. And ,of course, he starts his whole piece by calling opponents rascist(but in a nice way).

<>i>a pronounced inability to see Mexican Americans ... as authentic, loyal Americans.
That must be a condition that exists only in his mind. Perhaps he harbors some secret dislike of Hispanics that makes him think that? I don't hear any talk against Hispanics that are Americans, just those that are here illegally.

Progressivism is all about tending a collective identity of moral superiority.
It has long left caring about average American issues, though there are some hangers on. Witness the wholesale ignoring of economic issues involved in the debate.

What part of "illegal" does the Prof not understand?

Hah! I wouldn't have expected anything less from a moonbat law professor from Willamette University.

I would expect nothing better than a BARF ALERT from the Oregonian leftist rag. The professor is on Lars Larson right now.

My mother-in-law is turning 79. She came to the US legally in about 1947 (from Italy). My wife will be taking her to the funeral of her immigration "sponsor" this Friday.
She recalls that she had to wait an extra year, due to country quotas. Although her English was not too good, all of her children turned out great.
As a longtime citizen, she quietly shares that the current situation angers her. She thinks it is wrong for people to force their way in.
She, my wife and I make three disappointed voters.

Trying to reason with this professor would be futile.. a wasted "dialog with the deranged". I tell you, once a self-proclaimed altruist, loony lib opens that "door of perception" all common sense and logic is, well, Out The Door!

The nationwide marches on May 1 generated the expected counter-reaction among anti-immigrant groups and politicians,I quit reading after he left out the word "illegal" - means he isn't serious about the subject and instead just wants to demonize the other side.

Completely ignoring the felonies that illegal aliens commit by obtaining and using falsified documents.
