it is an interesting argument. I dont pretent to understand the immigration problem but I do see that both the proponents and opponents of immigration reform are very dogmatic. People see to be split into either the 'Lou Dobbs mould' where every immigrant is the devil's incarnate or 'the Ruben Navarrette mould' where, if a dog barks somewhere, that is somehow tied to how an immigrant is discriminated against.
I dont see many commentaries that address both sides of the issue and that makes it very hard to understand underlying issues. The need of the hour is to have immigration reform proponents who are willing to acknowledge the dark side of the problem (drugs, prostitution, gangs etc) and opponents who are willing to acknowledge the contributions of immigrants (lower prices, money paid as taxes, boost to small town economies etc).
