A former Democratic congresswoman, the late Barbara Jordan of Texas (who chaired a presidential immigration commission in the 1990s), put the matter in the proper context: ``Immigration is not a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution to everyone and anyone in the world who wishes to come to the United States. It is a privilege granted by the people of the United States to those whom we choose to admit.''

It's time for the American people to reassert their democratic right to control their fate.

Thanks for the ping, TF.

Holy Moley, A Democrat standing up for the Constitution? Whoa, I think I saw a pig fly by my window!

Well, I asked God to give me hope, and it's things like this that show me a glimmer.
