Jose Vargas - the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who recently announced he's an illegal alien - has created a pledge you can sign in which he wants a "new conversation on immigration" (link). I signed on to it and you can too if you want:

I Pledge to Define American

I pledge.

Like Jose Antonio Vargas, I believe that our nation's immigration woes are complex. Still, if we listen to one another and begin asking the right questions now, I believe we can fix them -- together. I believe it is time for a new national conversation on immigration.

I pledge to ask questions, debate, listen, and learn. I define American.

So, let's get started! No more incredibly biased mainstream media coverage of this issue in which they do things like present 25 paragraphs supporting illegal activity and one or two (if we're lucky) opposing it. No more propaganda pieces like PIIPP articles. No more reporters failing to reveal highly material facts, as Kate Brumback recently did.

Let's have an actual debate, using the question authority plan, where we ask things like the question on the DREAM Act page. In fact, we could even ask Vargas that question. Let's have no more bad questions, or fake events like Twitter's AskObama or all the rest listed on the popular voting systems page.

Vargas wants a debate, let's give him one.

ADDED: Maybe Vargas will join my call to end immigration panels where all the panelists are on the same basic side of things.

7/19/11 UPDATE: As part of that new conversation, I had an exchange on Twitter with one of Vargas' associates; see the attached image. Note that, unlike other Twitter screengrabs, I arranged them so the *latest* tweet is last to avoid giving the punchline away. The link in the last tweet below is the same as the "immigration panels" link directly above, where Vargas and four other hacks all supported the same basic immigration policy.
