Robert Bartley is the one who proposed a new Amendment, "There Shall Be Open Borders." The man is an idiot.
Leading the senseless is The Wall Street Journal editorial page, which I admired in the past for its stalwart promotion of the rule of law and abhorrence of race-card demagoguery.
On March 18, the paper betrayed both principles.
LINK.
"So Atta got his visa. That's no reason to kick out Mexican workers," pooh-poohed an online summary of an editorial titled "Immigrants and Terrorists." In it, the Journal's unrepentant open-borders proponents approve of bipartisan efforts - foolishly embraced by President Bush and favored by Mexican president Vicente Fox - to extend partial amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who have been in the country since 1998.
The so-called 245(i) provision of federal immigration law will allow illegal aliens who have found employer or family sponsors to obtain visas in the United States for a $1,000 fee, instead of being forced to return home - where consular offices would thoroughly scrutinize their native criminal records before approving applications. The 245(i) program would also allow these applicants to bypass a 1996 federal law barring illegal aliens from re-entering the United States for up to 10 years.
The administration's initial attempt to ram this proposal through, by a stealth "cloaked" vote, was cravenly Clinton- esque. But not a peep of complaint was heard from the Journal on that...
Wow.One of the most important editorials written this year.
Kudos to Michelle Malkin!
Been there, my friend.
Michelle worked in the San Fernando Valley for the Los Angeles Daily News before getting married and moving to Seattle.
Nice to watch a great one rise like that.
Yeah. The Seattle Times is pretty much a liberal rag. They took her on as a sort of token conservative, I think, but she got too popular. It was she, BTW, who turned me on to FR.
I'm sorry she went to the 'other' Washington, but wish her well there.
OTOH, she did badmouth my city, which I don't take kindly to from anyone, even if what she said was mostly true. Native Seattleites can't help it if all these foreigners (out-of-staters) came in and all but destroyed the city's soul. Oh well, I'm still here and intend to stay till the end.
Tour
bump.
They are on the side of all other globalists, such as the U.N., Bush, Socialists, and all other such evil from the pit.
Great article, but who's all over the media, today, instead? Gloria Steinem. Even Fox can't get it right.
Not me, I'm Irish/German. But my daughter is half Philippina.
We agree on pancit and bloot.

Amnesty is an open invitation for marriage fraud...hustle up an American employer or "spouse"
Just curious, how did the author get that American last name? ;)
I just cancelled my online subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I can't believe I hadn't cancelled sooner. The Wall Street Journal is controlled by the evil elite new world order multinational corporate traitors.
