No and no, though I'm sure many here would have a low opinion of it, though supposedly Neil is also a member there and his opinion is of course all that matters. :pope:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Immigration debate and policy. Finally, a more peaceful and quiet issue for Congress and the nation to debate, to take on, after the furor over health care.   ;)

If you believe a law is unjust, do you call those who break it criminals or victims?

people who don't vote are by default in agreement with whatever course taken.

Wow, what a whiny bitch.  I hope Gutierrez gets more press coverage, as it will set the "comprehensive immigration reform" movement back quite a bit.  And while I'm sure Obama would love to grant blanket amnesty to all the illegals, he obviously needs to try to conserve whatever political capital he has left at the moment.  I'd love to see him turn his back on shitheads like Gutierrez, La Raza, etc. even if only out of necessity.

I don't see Obama as having deeply held views on immigration reform.  I expect he'll try to split the difference between unions and immigrant bashers on the one hand and Latinos and immigrant loving progressives on the other.

As one of the people here I most respect what do you actually have to say about the issue (I know it's shocking, but I actually respect the opinions of lots of people here).
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The hell he doesn't.  He & other Dems see future Democrat voters when they look at illegal immigrants.  That's not to say he isn't pragmatic enough to try to placate the unions.
