Posted at 10:07pm on Jun. 13, 2007 Ok, ok, for the love of God. We get it.

I agree with you, and even I'm getting sick of it.

By Thomas

In the interest of full disclosure, this comes neither from Erick, the Directors, the Contributors, or indeed, anyone but me. The opinions expressed herein are entirely my own. The opinions expressed herein are purely hortatory, and not admonitory.

I hesitate to take this sort of thing to the front page, because the front is generally reserved for the pressing issues of the day, and this is a site maintenance thing. With that said:

I recognize that the Senate Bill That Won't Die is garbage. I'm fully aware that respect for the rule of law is being tossed down the drain so we can have a permanent class of helots and so the Democrats can have more voters. I have no doubt that La Raza and MECHa and other racist groups are getting a kick, not only out of the bill, but our reaction to it. I am amazed, to borrow a friend and fellow Director's phrase, that the President chose this as his hill to die on. I get it. I get all of this and every other argument you can imagine about the "great immigration compromise."

I also get that what I'm about to ask will be as successful as my request for a Christmas present was. But please, please, please:

Can we lay off immigration just a bit? This ain't PoliPundit or VDare; there are other issues with which we might just maybe want to concern ourselves, like a war, the budget, the courts, and other unimportant things like that. From looking at the diaries and comments, you'd think we were at war with all of Central America, and their primary combat technique is to swamp us with day laborers.

Please. Let's give silence a chance until the bill is at least presented again.

Posted at 9:58am on Jun. 1, 2007 NR vs. WSJ on Immigration: It's on

I would so scalp tickets to this

By krempasky

Volley.

Return.

Throwdown.

Kudos to NR for proposing a serious debate on the immigration. Kudos to Steve Moore at the WSJ for accepting - with apparently Bill Bennet as moderator. This is going to be fantastic.
