Rule of law scary to immigration activist

Cinnamon Stillwell:

But just the idea that the United States might actually seek to control the flood of illegal immigrants over its southern border sent opponents into a frenzy. A coalition of Hispanic, faith, labor and leftist groups, aided by Spanish-language radio personalities, organized massive protests, demonstrations and school walkouts in cities across the nation. In Chicago, New Jersey, Milwaukee, Detroit, Phoenix, Las Vegas, New York City, Sacramento, Watsonville and, perhaps most dramatically, Los Angeles (where protesters were joined by Mayor Antonio Villagarosa, who apparently forgot what country he's working for), hundreds of thousands of demonstrators demanded nothing less than an end to American sovereignty.

Far from simply opposing Sensenbrenner's bill, signs, slogans and speeches supported the immediate "legalization" of every single illegal immigrant in the United States. They also eschewed the idea that future illegal immigrants should be obstructed by anything so crass as a border. This invitation to uncontrolled mass immigration presumably includes illegal immigrants not just from Mexico or Latin America but from all over the world.

America is no longer asked to give refuge to the poor, huddled masses but to allow itself to be overrun by them.

There is much more.
