Its also right out of the DNC's playbook.
Its amazing to see the so-called conservatives here screaming racism and xenophobia at those who want to protect the lives of their fellow citizens.
Its like this place is turning into DU lite!

dont forget, these are the same individuals who labeled critics of Miers as "sexist and elitist".... after they heard the talking points from the WH (namely ed gillespie who said the criticism of miers "has a whiff of sexism and a whiff of elitism."). nevermind that the critics of miers wanted JRB, but it all turned out alright because from the firestorm-- we got alito.
Ouch!
This is what happens when you have political centrist moderates blindly supporting the federal bureaucracy and the Beltway status quo mentality of WashDC. There are good people on both sides of this issue. Some are just more right then others when it comes to the simple facts. In the long term, hopefully cooler heads will prevail and we'll see some regulatory and/or legislative action undertaken, that would make management of the commercial aspects of US ports of entry, limited to American companies. Of course, before that can happen, someone must create more US companies to handle these operations.
