Michelle Malkin has a new column up about the relative positions of the Democrats and Republicans on border security. A small excerpt:
Now, before my fellow conservatives get all outraged about Hillary's politically calculated doublespeak on border security, here's another catch: President Bush has the exact same position as Hillary. When he learned about the passport requirement plan earlier this month -- a plan he signed into law last December as part of the so-called intelligence reform bill -- he worried that it could "disrupt the honest flow of traffic." After expressing ignorance about his own policies, Bush ordered State and Homeland Security to reconsider the passport rules.
What a pair: Sen. Conniver and President Clueless. Pick your poison. Either way, we're committing national suicide.
Devastating but so true. How does the Republican leadership think they can possibly ignore this issue and maintain the majority?
It occured to me today, reading about our nation's rapidly aging population, that massive immigration is exactly what this country needs to solve the social security problem. A major concern is that as the population ages there will be tons of retired people collecting social security, and a smaller workforce paying into social security.
Boom, enter the immigrant population, which is largely young and willing to work. Tada -- aging population of baby boomers who refused to have kids are suddenly taken care of by a whole new workforce they didn't even have to raise!
