The Anchoress

. . . on, of course, the Immigration Bill:

John Podhoretz says there things to like and hate about the bill and heÂ’s distrustful of it, astonished by all the screaming, but doesnÂ’t mind if the screaming brings a better bill. I donÂ’t eitherÂ…but honestly, I worry that the screaming and foot-stomping, if successful, will become a permanent tactic of the hard-right, and then weÂ’ll have both parties constantly doing this acting-out-and-threatening stuff.

There does seem to be a sort of contest going on as to which group—the hard left, or the hard right—can be more immature. It's a sort of race to the bottom.

"Oh, my God! It's 1986 all over again! But this time, it's the end of the world!"

Well, no. And—no.

1 This is all just a political game, America is not open to immigrants. I can share my own story, after living here legally for the last seven years paying taxes, social security and following all the rules, going through all the procedures, spending over twenty-five thousand dollars, there is no green card in sight. If anything there are more procedural road blocks and more money being given to the Lawyers. Whenever, someone talks about amenesty or giving legal status to a bunch of illegals I am just rolling on the floor crying. The latinos are the new slaves of America, if you give them legal status they might start making minimum wages, and might even ask for benifits. It will not happen in this lifetime, otherwise we will have to go to a new country to get our slaves. So please give us all a big break, the reasonable thinking people know what a farce all this is.

2 Don't be ridiculous, Az--we'll always be able to find slaves/wage slaves. And if we don't, we'll just clone the poor to make more workers we can exploit. Don't you know anything?
