Orson Scott Card on Illegal Immigration

At The Ornery American, Orson Scott Card wrote an excellent post on illegal immigration in June. It articulates a lot of the reasons that I have not been as bothered by illegal immigration the way that many people with whom I agree on other issues have been. While I don't think we do enough to cultivate an Americanization ethic in new immigrants, I also think that the Statue of Liberty represents a promise we make to ourselves and to the world.
