I guess I'll chalk this up to another political Rorschach test.
No, chalk this up to political acumen and experience as a grassroots activist who is deeply involved with the issue and lobbies on the Hill. I bet that we will see this mentioned by both McCain and Obama in the context of immigration and amnesty. The politicians, MSM, and groups like La Raza continually try to blur the lines between legal and illegal. Lomong is about to become their poster boy.
I have absolutely nothing against Lomong. I know a lot about his story, which has been told in some detail already prior to the Olympic trials. It was very touching when he went back home and his mother found out that he was still alive. And the white American family that acted as his parents says volumes about the kind of country that we are. That said, I know exactly how this story is going to be used by the pro-amnesty people.
