Our ruling elites still just don't get it. Even after 9/11, and even though restrictionist immigration policies would be hugely popular, they refuse to do anything serious about controlling our borders, cracking down on illegals already here, and limiting legal immigration.

We need to pursue terrorists overseas, but compared to where the real danger lies, that's only a distraction.

Want to know where the illegal aliens are? Just get the list of registered voters and go from there.

Pragmatism rears its ugly head again. People won't do anything simply because it is right. There always has to be the instant payoff. The quick fix. Short term performance. We're always afraid to make the needed changes or enforce the laws because we're afraid of the "economic impact".

It's like we had this sort of moral line of credit we've been borrowing against for 30 years, and not having made the small maintenance payments, now the account is due and the payments are huge.

How much has 9/11 cost us? Wouldn't it have been a lot less costly to build and maintain an effective INS and intelligence community?

Republicans want them for cheap labor;

Democrats want them for votes.

And the ones that lose are the American people.
