The Washington Post's Dana Milbank has a long history of mindlessly hating Sen. Jeff Sessions for paying close attention to the contents of immigration bills. In this year's model, Milbank can't think of anything substantive to say against Sessions, so he simply turns the Snark Level to eleven and produces a column that even Maureen Dowd would have been humiliated to have written.

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Sorry, Steve, Milbank is absolutely correct. Milbank, not Sessions, is the true claimant for "Voice of the American People." How dare Sessions insinuate that Americans might be displeased with this finely crafted legislation. Milbank knows better. Milbank knows that ordinary Americans love this proposal and they would love it even more if they actually knew what it contained. You do realize that Milbank, unlike Sessions, was elected to his position by the general population, don't you?
It's "undocumented" on steroids, and to be expected.
The most fact-free column...
All the facts in the world will make absolutely no difference whatsoever to some people -- by now that ought to be apparent. If you cite demographic statistics -- e.g. criminality, educational attainment, etc, and regarding the future ask hard questions about all of that, which is only reasonable -- you are accused of spreading "hate".
Like I said before: it's the power of racially sensitive political correctness.
And it's a bitch.
eh
Actually, it's powerless, or would be, if sufficient numbers would realize that the smear approach is used because there is no rational argument available, for wanting to make America more like the third world.
Only smears, but not rational arguments, are available for engorging and expanding the welfare establishment with vastly more hostiles.
This has been the rhetorical identity of the left for decades now; smears only, no arguments.
Should we ask liberal democratic senators to require all Y-Visa immigrants receive health care from the employer?
Would this be a poison pill for the corporate community, or would it just make the bill "better" from a liberal point of view?
An AoSHQ reader, steve_in_hb, has already pinned down all of the relevant facts in the immigration debate:
How can we pass this thing in a week if you guys keep insisting on analyzing it? Here are the only three things you need to know:
- A Senator had a mom who was an illegal alien
- Not supporting this bill is tantamount to advocating the execution of illegal aliens.
- The benevolent dictator McCain has already decided what we should think. Disagreeing means we are stupid or are unaware of what's actually in the bill.
"So much of the media's attitude toward the immigration issue is motivated by blatant status assertion. Milbank wants us to know that he's too cool to have thought about illegal immigration. Sure, he constantly reveals himself as a total ignoramus on the subject, but that's the point: he can afford to be. Nobody from Oaxaca is going to compete for his job."
I think that "too cool" thing is right on the money. When you argue with white liberals who support mass immigration, there's definitely a sense that they regard any sort of passion about the issue as tacky.
As for Milbank, he's a huge embarrassment to the Post. It bewilders me why they continue to publish his idiotic "analysis" pieces. He must have some truly awful pictures of Katherine Graham in his safety deposit box.
"The need to change the nation's immigration laws cannot be doubted"
That's a statement of religious belief if ever there was one...
Ive cut and pasted Millbank's NNDB page...........He is a Skull and Bones guy. No wonder he likes Bush...Here it is:

Gender: Male
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Journalist
Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Washington Post White House reporter
The most hated man in the White House press corps.
In July 2001, Milbank filed a pool report which managed to incense the White House. The summary of the President's morning, never meant to be read by the general public, was then leaked to National Review who promptly published the thing in an effort to shame the reporter. Instead, Milbank responded by producing a series of even more grandiloquent memos.
A member of Yale's secret society Skull and Bones, in March 2004 Milbank allegedly confided to Washington gossip columnist Lloyd Grove: "I have been assigned to monitor all secret hand signals during the debates. [...] I have it on good information that if this one gets tied up in a recount, Potter Stewart will return from the grave to write the majority opinion."
