Rush, the WSJ, and Immigration Reform [James Fulford] - 01/31/05John Fund has a piece in the WSJ on Rush Limbaugh's warning to President Bush that Republican voters don't like mass immigration. Fund calls the idea of a secure border "Pat Buchanan's idea of a reverse Berlin Wall," which is a really strange way of talking about Homeland Security; the Berlin Wall was supposed to keep people in, who had a right to leave. A wall on the southern border would be keeping people out, who have no right to enter. Fund also takes a shot at Michael Bloomberg for being a "scofflaw" in refusing to cooperate with the immigration authorities. Fund is apparently unaware that "scofflaw" is the official position of the WSJ editorial board. See Tamar Jacoby's remarks here. Consequences of Illegal Immigration [D. A.
