Series on Immigration Policy
If you've followed my posting from the beginning at the old SCO, then you know that I haven't posted on the topic of immigration. That's about to change.
Hugh Hewitt directs us to this article from Glenn Reynolds, as well as Whizbang, Polipundit, Hedgehog (See here, here, here, here and here), and Michelle Malkin for "informed views on the tough issues" and makes the following observation:
There's a small, hard-core nativist, anti-even-legal-immigrant group that seeks to hijack every conversation and comment thread about border security, and you can usually identify its members pretty quickly. But the venom among this small, off-putting group should not disguise the fact there is widespread, across-the-political-spectrum worry that there isn't enough effort being put into border security. And that concern could become Hillary's path to the right in 2008, though it is hard to see how, if the issue is border security, the answer could ever be a Democrat in the White House.I share many of Hugh's concerns and think it's time that I speak out on this important issue.
As a full-time husband, dad, and grad student, this series may take a while, but it's important that we have this debate. My first post of the series will appear tomorrow and I've established the following general guide for future posts:
1. Terms of the Debate
2. Drivers of Unauthorized Immigration: Immigrant’s Perspective
3. Drivers of Unauthorized Immigration: Employer's Perspective
4. Failed US Border Policy: an Historical Overview
5. National Security and Border Policy
6. What Should Be the Christian Approach to Immigration Policy?
7. Moving towards a Rational and Humane Immigration Policy
