Immigrants Among Us
Fred Wilson (who rarely blogs politics), nails it on why the GOP is clueless about the significance of closing our borders. Fred even achieves relative consensus with his political opponent Steve Kane. We are all immigrants and that’s what makes America unique; it is how we became the leaders of the free world. Maybe it’s because Fred lives in New York, not in Washington.
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
