May Day Miscalc
April 28, 2006
What started as a belated (but bipartisan) attempt to resolve some decades-old questions about domestic immigration policy has devolved — with the help of massive international coordination– into a debate on immigrant’s human rights! How twisted has this argument become? So much that the current media dialogue seems focused on what immigrant-friendly groups are going to do next to influence American policy. Isn’t this a little backwards?
The planned May Day demonstrations and boycotts are huge political miscalculations and will only exhaust the little goodwill that most Americans have left.

Immigration rallies all over the place
April 10, 2006
This is now a sustained movement by most measures–and we’re not talking about the efforts from the likes of the reform-minded Minutemen and Pat Buchanan types we’ve been hearing from for the last several years. How did this many people organize so quickly, (seemingly) under the radar? Hmmm, wonder what kind of non-profits are out there doing some legwork ![]()
Speaking generally here, but if all these millions of people are really absorbed into our workforce and are such a vital part of our economy, how is it that so many of them can find time on a workday to come out and protest? C’mon people, it’s peak season right now! Get back to work!
