Give us your tired and your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, because we already have an abundance of selfish, mean, xenophobes. Polls show that most Americans support Arizona’s new immigration law, which makes it criminal to accept the Statue of Liberty’s invitation.

A new CBS News-New York Times poll found that 51 percent of those surveyed agreed that the methods of the Arizona law are “about right.” That backs up an earlier Gallup poll that found that 51 percent of Americans who had heard of the law favor it. —PZS

More rhetoric. I really haven't heard anyone say close off immigration. Just regulate it fairly. One clown yesterday made the case that asking people for ID to prove their citizenship is hypocritical for the right wing to ask of illegal immigrants. I find that odd when you consider that getting stopped by any cop today will require legal citizens to display ID or get hauled off to jail. it happens all the time. Why shouldn't illegal immigrants be held to the same standards at legal citizens? What really PO's me is that when going to court, the judge will often let illegals slide because they figure they're not gonna pay anyway!
