From the article: "Their calculation is clear: a win on immigration reform will absolve their sins."
This entire calculus needs to be junked. Being blindly pro-immigration is a stupid thing. Those that hold the position need to be made aware it is stupid. Where's the environmental impact statement? Where and when does immigration end, as it eventually must? Will that be a bad thing?
I've just returned from SoCal. What a wonderful place! Never saw folks acting as human billboards until visiting post-1980s SoCal; never saw ad-hoc garage sales on the sidewalk until recently, only in Cali. Never saw that before in the USA.
I think I linked to Josh Miller's post in a comment thread here last week. That man has some stones, when you think about it, being one of the first (and youngest) in the tech space to publicly criticize FWD.us.
Even though Miller essentially agrees with Zuck's ends on immigration, it's encouraging that he and others in tech are so turned off by FWD.us's means. It suggests they may be fundamentally honest. If that's the case, they may eventually come to question whether mass immigration is in the current interests of the US.
I like the weasel theme for these stories. Cute pictures.

ReplyDeleteAt least I don't need a visa to visit SoCal :)

ReplyDeleteGIMP is an open-source program suitable for making propaganda images that compare the Zuck to a weasel.
We should hire the Volturi to destroy the gang of eight.
ReplyDeleteThat weasel pic is awesome. And it doesn't even begin to rival the one.
ReplyDeleteYou know the one I mean. That one is the absolute pinnacle of weasel pics.
