The Immigration Issue

I like Peggy Noonan, but all too often she's kinda squishy. She's like the teacher who tries not to raise her voice as she separates two cantankerous children.

I have lots of thoughts about illegal immigration, but she pretty much summarizes them below.

But it's not so complex. The past quarter-century an unprecedented wave of illegal immigrants has crossed our borders. The flood is so great that no one--no one--can see or fully imagine all the many implications, all the country-changing facts of it. No one knows exactly what uncontrolled immigration is doing and will do to our country.

So what should we do?

We should stop, slow down and absorb. We should sit and settle. We should do what you do after eating an eight-course meal. We should digest what we've eaten.
