| The radio report: immigration nation |
For those who caught the Reid radio hit on WTPS Miami this morning, here are links to the topics we talked about. (If you missed it, I'll post the audio on the Juicecast page in a bit...)
On the hot topic of illegal immigration:
- Immigration facts and figures from the Center for Immigration Studies ...
- Pew Trusts: attitudes toward illegal immigration ...
- CapitolWatch Blog has some stats on the impact of illegal immigration on the U.S. ...
- And what do we want? Oil. And Mexico has lots of it. First, a look at where we get our oil imports... and second, Mexico's latest oil find...
From AmericaBlog, Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she and retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor have been the subject of death threats from the "irrational fringe of society," spurred by conservatives' criticism of the courts...
Meanwhile, the American Constitution Society's blog has the latest anti-judge gambit, interestingly titled "J.A.I.L. 4 Judges," and on the right, Ginsburg is panned by Powerline for delivering her broadside from foreign shores, and the post even tosses around the "I" word -- only not for President Bush. ... Panned by Ramesh Ponnuru at NRO's The Corner, and of course, Panned by Malkin for the same reason (though she is kind enough to add that "death threats are intolerable...)
Via ThinkProgress, Russ Feingold finally gets some support, in the form of a co-sponsor, Tom Harkin (...and is it just me, or does Lincoln Chafee suddenly need to solidify his liberal base ...?)
Also from ThinkProgress, Gen. John Abizaid hints at what many on the left have feared all along: permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq...
Happy Thursday!
