“I don’t have to tell you that illegal immigration has suddenly become an important political issue, but I keep having to remind myself why. I guess it’s something to talk about when you’ve exhausted the subject of gay marriage.”
Rocky Mountain News columnist Mike Littwin. Littwin also has this:
One of the speakers Monday was Yeh Ling-Ling, executive director of the Diversity Alliance for a Sustainable America.
She is a Vietnamese of Chinese descent who immigrated to France, where they wouldn’t let her stay. She came to America and became a citizen. Now, as an American, she gives speeches saying that immigration “threatens to destroy the American culture.”
If you follow the debate, you know that she is the ultimate American immigrant story.
Thanks to Coyote Gulch for the pointer.
