#2 This column really hit home. I've dealt with INS before, and it is a positively Orwellian affair.

#4 Here's an interesting crop of photos from the Dallas march this past weekend.

I'm particularly fond of this one. I think Karl Rove put it there.

#5 I can tell that the donks think they are going to capitalize on this, I hope it bites them in the ass with the unions.

#6 It amazes me that people aren't more upset about the illegal immigrants chanting, "Today we march! Tomorrow we vote!" They probably have been voting Democrat for years and just didn't know it.

#7 Did anyone watch C-Span today? Was the wall-to-wall use of Spanish because the audience

1) didn't understand English
2) understood English but rejected using it because they have decided Spanish is to be the official language of the US?

I am not saying it isn't a good idea to speak more than one language. It is a great idea to study at least one more language. Me, I can get by in French and Spanish. Nor am I suggesting that an immigrant can't speak his native language in public. But does this lobby not realize that throwing aside the common language of the host country in a widely publicized national debate is a breach of the most elementary manners? There is a real disrespect going on with this defiance against speaking English. Watch the footage of the audience from C-Span recorded today. Most the audience knew when to applaud after some English phrases were spoken. Thye understood English; they just shoved it aside so that Spanish would reign supreme, similar to the way that (until today) they flew the Mexican flag above the American flag on the same staff.
