Билл Ричардсон
Nov. 25th, 2007 05:58 pmМеня порадовала газетка, которую когда-то разносили мои дети, "Salt Lake Tribune". Democrat Richardson makes most sense on immigration:
Just think about the novel way in which Richardson, in answering a question from the audience about the tone of the immigration debate, did something that is practically unheard of in the dizzying pander-monium of the 2008 campaign: He scolded the audience and told them that not only do we have a dysfunctional border that is being breached by illegal immigrants, a dysfunctional system that makes it too hard for people to enter legally, and a dysfunctional Congress that won't tackle the issue in an honest and productive way, but even the way we discuss these issues is dysfunctional.
и кто-то напоминает в комментах:
In the early 1900's, the State Department issued a report warning that we were admitting far too many "unassimilable Jews". That report looks pretty silly now, as do all previous hysterias about the Irish, the Poles, the Japanese, the Greeks, etc. китайцы долго были изгоями, на итальянцев косятся и до сих пор, и немцам тоже немало досталось. Как ни странно, но к иранским, арабским и славянским иммигрантам отношение довольно мягкое.

Я понимаю, Канада это не США, но общего все-таки больше чем различий.
