Emil Amok: Immigrants -- Your Liberty Interests Affirmed Here

Light another firecracker. Immigrants are in again. Six years after some of the most mean-spirited political times in American history, the new out list includes: Former California Governor Pete Wilson in soft-spoken semi-retirement; Former “Contract with America” guy Newt Gingrich now spinning on the Fox Channel; and nativists in general, exposed for their hateful, narrow-mindedness.

Meanwhile, 10 million immigrants have come to America legally since 1990. And in California, the largest state in the union, minorities have become the majority.

Times have certainly changed.

Lead Editorial:
Payback Time

Imagine what would happen if a group of foreigners landed in America and decided to take over. They overthrow President Bush and seize control of D.C. Then, they stake their claim on all government land. If that were not enough, these strangers demand that every citizen of the former United States speak their language and practice their culture. Goodbye, English and apple pie.

Most Americans can’t even imagine. But for Native Hawaiians, the analogy hits home. It’s a scenario that outlines their history and continues to shape their existence.
