Jed: It's too late to think of the 10 plus million illegals in
our midst as an external problem. That's why it imperative to open
closed liberal minds on assimilation and welfare matters. As for
security issues, let me quote from the excellent John Tierney in
today's N.Y. Times. "Mohamed Atta did not have to hire a
coyote or swim across the Rio Grande. He and the other hijackers
entered the country legally...." I cannot recommend his column
strongly enough (available,
alas, only to Times Select subscribers).
