...critics' legitimate concerns. His colleagues on the other side of the immigration debate aren't budging. They worry, reasonably, that it is hard to assimilate 1.5 million newcomers each year, especially when the vast majority of them are poor people from one country (Mexico) that shares a long border with us. But they have not found a way to raise these questions without sounding hostile to illegal immigrants or, worse, to Hispanics in general.

Mesquite is a quiet street in the small, high-desert town of Playas, N.M., just north of the Mexican border. Suddenly it is alive with action. A heavily armed SWAT team races toward two adobe houses where terrorists are holed up, according to reports from a confidential informant.

"I have always told Vladimir Putin, my friend, that it's in his interest that there be democracies on her border, and that he doesn't need to fear NATO; he ought to welcome NATO because NATO is a group of nations dedicated to peace," said Bush in Bucharest. Britain, Canada and a number of other member states agreed with his analysis. But Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel, whose relations have recently...
