Americans and the "immigration debate"

[mburbank]

You don't get very far into this article before you trip over it's central flaw.

"One of the most striking features of the immigration debate now raging in Washington is that none of the Democratic or Republican proposals seem to hold any appeal for ordinary Americans"


'ordinary americans'. What does the author mean by this? Simple. Ordinary Americans are people who think what he's about to tell you he thinks. That's what makes them ordinary. People who don't think what he thinks are extraordinary, down right wierd, freaks.

There's no point in even reading something thats starts out with the assumption that the author is on the side of what's ordinary, normal, right, and anything else is.... something else.
