A couple of lines of the 12/25/07 Paul Edwards column "Social Conservatives are Mad as Hell" stood out. Link is as follows:

Edwards points out to us that Huckabee, while believing in securing the border, reminds us of the lady standing in New York harbor with a torch raised high beckoning "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
It would be wise to remind all with similar opinions that there is a last line to that beautiful poem by Emma Lazarus. That line is as follows:
"I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
This line should remind everyone that there is a door through which the tired, poor, huddled masses must enter. Entering without permission is just that: a break-in. And break-ins are illegal.
People who sneak through the "golden door" uninvited are illegal aliens.
Any person who wants to be President of the United States should keep that last line of Lazarus' poem firmly in mind.
There appears to be no doubt that the majority of American citizens know the difference between those who sneak in and those who knock, waiting for an invitation to enter.
Not only does the majority know the difference, it advised Congress of that fact in no uncertain terms this past summer when we let them know what we thought about their "amnesty" by any word they chose to call it, and when we let them know what we thought about their "DREAM" Act.
