In an essay entitled "An Islamic Alienation" (echoing Peter Brimelow's book title) in the New York Times Magazine, Susan Sontag's son echoes many of my themes.
Joe Guzzardi, as always, makes an excellent point in his column about banks, profits, illegal aliens and the law.
"Illegal aliens are working, illegally, on construction crews that are building houses to be sold, illegally, to aliens who have
obtained their mortgages illegally."
Any reasonable person must agree that making mortgage loans to illegal aliens is knowingly encouraging those illegal aliens to remain in the United States - for a profit.
David Brooks' latest NYT column, Two Steps Toward a Sensible Immigration Policy, confirms his reputation as a good sociological journalist of the Tom Wolfe Lite school and a terrible policy pundit. He starts off pretty well by describing one aspect of the immigration problem:
Immigration reform legislation is
introduced at the national and state levels
everyday...and everyday the bills are voted down. So
grass-roots patriots are learning to bypass the
political processs and take the fight to the front
lines. They're taking the fight to the border...and
it's brilliant.
