Alan: Regardless the facts, people who see themselves besieged
-- whether physically or metaphysically --
always pick on foreigners.
We are tribal creatures who better get over it.
Otherwise, it's Israelis and Arabs... forever.

Still, anti-illegal immigration protests rage on. "The Los Angeles protest was among 40 in southern California and hundreds held in the U.S., part of a national call for a crackdown on illegal immigration....Some rallies, including those in Little Rock, Ark., Dallas and Philadelphia, drew counter protesters....The flow slowed this week, but reports of migrants swarming the border and being transported to towns in the country's interior have attracted new supporters of grass-roots organizations that fight illegal immigration....Experts predict that the number of illegal entries this year will be small compared with...the heyday of illegal immigration more than a decade ago, when about 900,000 people were caught trying to sneak in." Miriam Jordan in The Wall Street Journal.
