Throwing Down The Gauntlet On Immigration

The rhetoric keeps ratcheting up, and conservatives are learning that there are some policies President Bush will stir himself to defend. Would that he had used as much energy to defend his Iraq policy as has has his immigration policy! The Wall Street Journal has been particularly harsh, calling those who believe that the borders of a sovereign nation must be enforced irrational, foaming at the mouth nativists. The editors at National Review Online have thrown down the gauntlet.
It shouldn’t be a problem for the Journal’s editors to take up this challenge, since opponents of the bill aren’t “rational” on the question, have no arguments, and are “foaming at the mouth,” as they explained in a videotaped session of one of their editorial meetings last week. Click here to watch — you have to see it to believe it.
We urge them to come out of the shadows, and hope defending the bill in this forum is not another one of those jobs that no American will do.
There is no way the WSJ editors will pick it up, but kudos to NRO for calling them out on this issue.
Added: Here’s the video linked above. The sheer arrogance of these people is breathtaking.
This makes me have pretty unpleasant thoughts of ‘violence’. You sure are right about the arrogance… totally nauseating.
