A flood is not caused by "a raindrop." Yes indeed we have come a long way where we have succeeded in pushing race in the background and made it more benign. You ask why? What do Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters, Barack Obama and Michael Steele have in common. They are from both sides of the aisle, right. So on the issue of race in America the jury is still out and as I said a raindrop or two does not cause a flood.

Now moving on to the issue of politicization of the immigration issue. Janet Napolitano was the elected Governor of Arizona. who else but she would know all the issues related with immigration in her state. I don't know if, with the little experience that Jan Brewer has had, if she is qualified to sign that law. What do they have in common. Both are women, both have been or are Governors of the same state. But what is their difference? They are from different political parties.

So let me sound like a broken record: immigration is and has been an issue since the days of Reagan. BUt there is no compelling reason other than politics, for this issue to have become so hot that people are suggesting drastic changes such as a constitutional change to address this.

This is an interesting post from sylvester on this thread, in case you have not read it:
