"Bush Bill Would Aid Mexico's Meddling in U.S." - 02/19/04
From Mark Krikorian in Newsday:
There has been much well-deserved criticism of President George W. Bush's proposed amnesty and guestworker plan. But its possible effect on America's sovereignty has seldom been mentioned, even though that may be the most harmful in the long term.

"Earth to WSJ" - 01/28/04
From Mark Krikorian:
