Is It Too Late?

Perhaps the most prescient statement about the illegal alien rally in LA was made by Mickey Kaus of the Kaus Files:

Of course the very size of these rallies, when coupled with the pro-illegal immigrant sentiments and the Mexican flags, might hurt the cause of the ralliers. It seems likely to make many non-PC voters think, "Jeez, next year's rally will be even bigger. We'd better build that wall quick!"

Some of us would say, it might just be a little late.  Even still, we need the wall.  It isn’t a cure-all, but it will certainly slow down the rate.  A wall, coupled with strict border enforcement, would slow it down to a manageable rate.

This issue will eclipse the Iraq War.  Most people are resigned to finish it out whether they agree with the war or not.  Look for this to start boiling and become the issue the 2006 election is centered around.

A minefield would be a lot more effective than a wall.

We need only 2 "branches
Legsislators would be Illegal Immigrants
Enforcers should be Members of the Kennedy Family

We only need one newspaper - The New York Times.

Well, I certainly hope it has that effect. That people grow weary of illegal immigration.

The illegal immigrants screaming racial slurs and waving Mexican flags don't go over well.
