" In an October 2000 press release titled “Cannon Manages House Passage of High Tech Visa Bill," Rep. Cannon took credit for passing the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 (search), the very act that marked the onset of the current flood.

In the four years since the passage of the bill, stories like Kevin Flanagan's don't seem to have dampened enthusiasm. This year, Cannon has signed on to several bills that would increase immigration, and introduced a couple of his own. His AgJOBS bill (search), which is both a massive new amnesty for illegal aliens and a major new guest worker program, has drawn the enthusiastic endorsement of some four hundred groups and organizations -- overwhelmingly business interests. His efforts have earned him awards of appreciation from immigration lawyers' interests and ethnic-identity organizations. "

Neither political party will represent the will of the people on this issue.

The best we can hope for is the shift in the Sierra Clubs policy to anti-immigration. There is a movement afoot to shift from "neutral" to "against".

This is only important because the Sierra Club is a serious force in California, and to my knowledge the only group with the horsepower to make itself heard.

I'm sorry, but the author's anecdotal evidence does not make his case, and he provides no data to back up his claims. Sounds like "Reader's Digest" journalism to me.

I'm not saying he's wrong, but if he's right, why doesn't he provide any evidence?
