A Little Help on Illegal Aliens Today's New York Times runs an interesting post concerning illegal immigration on Long Island. As mostly first generation immigrants here at the Angry New Yorker command center we're very well aware that this country was founded, formed and built by immigrants. That goes without saying. But what doesn't necessarily follow as a corrollorary, however, is that immigration levels should be either unregulated or untouchable. Humanitarian issues are one thing, and they're why we have asylum status for one class of immigrants, but turning a blind eye to the near-invasion levels of illegal immigrants (not migrants or undocumented workers) is neither in this country's best interests, nor the interests of other countries. The article, A Little Help on Illegal Aliens, by James R. Edwards, Jr., available here, notes in the context of discussing Suffolk County Executive Steven Levy's recent request for help from the federal government that: It's long past time that the federal government put illegal immigration on the front burner. Opposition to current levels of illegal immigration and support for enforcement and stronger measures cuts across all party lines. The real question is anyone in Washington listening.
