Interesting. What exactly is your position on the subject?
I think that a large component of the anti-immigrant sentiment displayed by folks like the minutemen or the house resolution being protested nationwide basically comes from a racist place and should be opposed.
I think there are some rational policy grounds for putting limits on immigration but I'm concerned about it is being implemented.
I think the idea of creating a guest worker program so that immigrants could come and work and contribute to the economy in a legally recognized way sounds really good and I'm hopeful in terms of what could come out of that approach.
