From one side, we heard that we’re a bunch of racists, headed the way of Nazis. From the other, we heard that anyone who objects to a law giving the police broad new powers to stop and question suspected illegal immigrants is an “anarchist” and perhaps worse (in Arizona, at least), a member of the open borders crowd.
Even the governor did her part to churn already roiling waters, declaring Thursday that “Arizona is being overrun by illegal immigrants terrorizing the citizens of the state of Arizona.”
Mr. President, are you listening? Secretary Napolitano, remember us?
If you or your predecessors had done something to close the nation’s back door, we wouldn’t be in this fix, where U.S. citizens are left to wonder whether they’ll be asked for their papers simply because of the color of their skin. Where our ranchers live in a war zone and our largest city is the kidnapping capital of the planet.
Where everybody is now dug in to whichever foxhole they’ve chosen in this fight – alien invader or noble immigrant — with little room for middle ground or rational discussion.
