I am worried about the Right hijacking immigration, using the issue to divert attention from Iraq, recession, health care, etc, and pounding the naive American public with tales of invading hordes of "illegals". That issue might well get them the White House in November.

I have started a website to raise awareness of this issue. If you send me a SASE and mention MUDCAT, I'll send you a FREE "Who Would Jesus Deport? Stay Compassionate" bumper sticker. (long envelopes, please, not those short stubby ones.)

Move On has shown no interest in the issue, and the major democratic candidates are scared of it. So I hope some Mudcaters will join me in going on record against Willie Hortonization of the immigration issue. It could cost progressives dearly if we don't start speaking out.

Please spread the word.
