The Illegal Immigration Approval Act of 2007

...or whatever they're calling it. Kathryn Jean Lopez at National Review Online puts together a good digest of (mostly) conservative blog reaction, and it's pretty ugly.

A problem I have with this "compromise" (at least the high points, as announced) is not only that it seems like bad policy to reward illegal immigration, it's also bad politics for the Republican Senators (and the President) who signed off on it, and the Republican Party. They were vital to get the deal done, but what's in it for them and their party? Twelve million new Democrat-leaning voters in the coming years? What the hell kind of deal is that?

Sometimes one does wonder if all the talk about the One World, CFR-Bilderberger-Trilateral-Illuminati conspiracy is mostly true. At least it's a more plausible, interesting explanation than stupidity on the part of some very smart people...

Anyway, it's also not yet passed through Congress and signed, and I expect some lovely political theater as it makes it's way through the process. A Million-Citizen March on Washington with Michelle Malkin dressed as the Statue of Liberty would make a good start.

With much of California's populace suddenly brought thus to a rolling boil, that march might be a very good thing to relieve some of the pressure. Otherwise we should all do as you said a couple months ago and make sure we spend plenty of time at the range.
