Andrew Sullivan is truly a lightweight

In the recent past this site has somewhat defended Andrew Sullivan because of his battles with Instapundit and other BushBots.

However, given his support for illegal immigration ("Panic builds up behind America's Great Wall", link), that policy will change. He diagnoses a large part of the opposition to illegal immigration as being caused by xenophobia and racism, even attempting to portray mass deportations and Vox Day's infamous column as representative of "grassroots Republican" thinking.

Thankfully, someone else has responded to Andrew Sullivan's column, sparing me the task. (Since Sully has fewer readers than, say, the HuffPost and has access to greater resources, you'd think he'd be able to enable comments. Perhaps he's afraid of everyone pointing out exactly how he's wrong.)

That site also links to this Mark Steyn column which, while featuring a bit too much humor, does contain this:

But a "worker class" drawn overwhelmingly from a neighboring jurisdiction with another language and ancient claims on your territory and whose people now send so much money back home in the form of "remittances" that it's Mexico's largest source of foreign income (bigger than oil or tourism) is not "immigration" at all, but a vast experiment in societal transformation. Indeed, given the international track record of bilingual societies and neighboring jurisdictions with territorial claims, it's not much of an experiment so much as a safe bet on political instability.

Comments

Hey There,

Our company, Jones American Comedy Network, has created a funny web animation called "Mexican Tourism Ad" that shows how it would be if Americans came to Mexico with the same expectations and demands that illegals from that country bring here. Turnabout is fair play!

We invite you to post a link to the animation at your site if it meets with your approval and serves your purposes. Here's the URL:

Feel free to grab the screen shot of the animation that is posted at the link. Have fun with it!

Best,

Kurt
