I wish I had an excuse for my pessimism. Perhaps if I had recently finished reading the L.A. Times’ investigative report on wounded soldiers followed by a six-pack of Blue Moon, I may have a fallback for my emotions. However, I’m sitting in Baghdad across from an Iraqi who is happy with the liberation and I’m completely sober....

If immigrants are no different than the rest of us, then why should this prestigious award go to a teacher noted for teaching students from immigrant backgrounds, 90% of whom are on public assistance?

It was only a matter of time before someone floated the notion that the term "illegal alien" was a racial slur.

Throughout much of the 1990’s, prescient social analysts such as Pat Buchanan and Michael Savage warned of the changes that would take place in our nation should the government of the United States fail to get control over the flood of immigration that was pouring across the border. At the time, those viewing radical hypertolerance as more important than cultural survival dismissed such warnings as the ravings of lunatics. However, now that increasing numbers of Americans finally want something done about the matter, it may be too late.
