Patriotic company threatened
A House Democrat threatens Cintas corp. over its efforts to avoid employing illegal aliens.
The main downside of this month's election result is that we no longer have a powerful voice anywhere in the government for dealing with illegal immigration. The Democrats as a party don't want to do it. Bush doesn't want to do it. Nobody lately has wanted to do it except the House Republicans, and they're in the minority now.
The only group that wants to do it is the American public. Pressure organized on the internet has stiffened Congressional resistance to amnesty plans in the past. The same pressure can get us what we really need -- a border wall, employer sanctions with real teeth, and no amnesty -- but it will need to be relentless.

Sad, isn't it? I'd be the first to condemn discrimination by ancestry (always remember that most Hispanic people in the US aren't illegal aliens, and many illegal aliens aren't Hispanic), but if we can't discriminate between legal and illegal, we've crossed the line into lunacy.
A security barrier, by the way, might be more effective than you think. The one Israel has built around the West Bank has cut off most of the flow of suicide bombers from there, and the typical suicide bomber is probably more motivated than the typical illegal alien.
