You can decry him over immigration, but you have to decry Bush too. They are one. You can lament the fact that there are any men in politics at all, who are not all true blue conservative - but it is whistling dixie. THAT was said like a tried and true liberal. Congrats JasonC, you win the big prize, open borders and the end of the US as we know it. Hooyah!
I am against illegal immigration, for legal immigration, and to the right of both Bush and McCain on the matter. But no, the country is not at stake in the matter, and will be fine regardless. We should control illegal immigration for the sake of general law abidingness, fairness to those who obey the rules, and to give policy the ability to regulate the pace of immigration to what assimilation processes can handle, to shape its composition, etc. All important things, but no, the existence and even the success of the country are not at stake in them. We are bigger and stronger than that, have done fine regardless, and would continue to do so. Not a reason not to fix it, but it is a reason not to be hysterical about it.
The sky won't fall if we build another power plant, either. Hysterical scaremongering hyperbole is no more attractive when pretend conservatives engage in it, than when the left does.
