An excellent piece from conservative columnist George
Will
George Will notes:
“After the Sept. 11
attacks, attitudes about immigration became entangled with policies about
terrorism. So, as the Economist noted, “a mass murder committed by mostly Saudi
terrorists resulted in an almost limitless amount of money being made available
for the deportation of Mexican house-painters.” This month, U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement agents raided 98 7-Eleven stores in 17 states, making
21 arrests, approximately one for every 4.5 stores. Rome was not built in a day
and it would be unreasonable to expect the government to guarantee, in one fell
swoop, that only American citizens will hold jobs dispensing Slurpees and Big
Gulps.”
