This blog post is inspired today by a column written by Michael Barone, "A Watershed Moment on Immigration." The link to that column is as follows:

Most of our politicians still don't get it.
Americans for the most part have nothing against legal immigration.
They are fed up with aliens in our midst who, being here, are illegals; are very likely taking jobs away from American citizens; in many cases are felons whose native countries are grateful to be rid of them; and, also in many cases, are drains upon our very weakened social services.
Americans are fed up with a bunch of airheads in Washington who apparently believe that the Americans who put them in office are airheads.
The only thing they will loudly, gladly admit is that we want our borders protected. Many of the Presidential hopefuls promise that our borders will be protected.
The thing they apparently cannot do is to create a way to deal with the illegals here already and committing mayhem in one way or another.
My suggestion to anyone who wants to be President is that he put on a very tight thinking cap and do the thing mentioned in the preceding paragraph. In addition, of course, to protecting our borders.
