King, I'm not sure we've got a Marielito wave here. It could be just the opposite: While there are a fair number of drug thugs making their way across the border, especially near places like Laredo, the evidence seems to indicate most people come here to work. I'm drawing my data from the Census and Labor Departments, as well as from state governments. The Social Security argument is not a statement of support for the status quo, but merely a statement of the complications involved in deporting all the illegals...

King, Now we've found common ground. I've been saying virtually all of that. We have practical problems in dealing with 11 million or more illegals. My suggestion is to figure out which want to be citizens and insist they do what's necessary: Work, learn the language, stay off welfare, obey the laws. The other thing we need to do is to take a hammer to the welfare system, which Democrats are dangling like a big, juicy worm and urging immigrants to snap at the bait so they can become members not of a prosperous society, but a stalled-out underclass. Many of the illegals are potential conservatives and potential Republicans -- they have lower unemployment and crime rates than the public generally, and lots are Catholics with conservative social views. Democrats are actively recruiting them all, knowing that some eventually will become citizens and voters. Conservatives need to work out some strategy for dealing with those who stay.

King, You're quick with the stereotype -- and 100 percent wrong. Make an argument, rather than sharing armchair insults. We might be able to get something done.

I talked to Herman this afternoon. He's in great spirits, and appreciates (and welcomes) all thoughts and prayers. He'll get his treatment at one of the best cancer treatment centers in the country, with pre-surgery tests scheduled in a couple of weeks. He's an amazing guy, with exactly the right attitude. He said he knew things were pointed in the right direction when he learned the name of his last consulting physician was Dr. Lord.

I've gotten a bazillion e-mails on this. I am indeed a member of CFR, and I haven't read the publication you're talking about. I have made it clear that I don't believe in a borderless hemisphere. In any event, CFR publishes a lot of stuff, a lot of which I find silly or disagreeable, and a huge amount of which winds up in the trash. Every once in a while, however, they do some good research, which I'm happy to receive and use.

Of all the inventions in America's long and storied history, none strikes me as weirder or more imaginative than peeps. Who knew one could convert otherwise toxic ingredients, held together with vast amounts of sugar, into a confection?

Margaret, I'm a little dubious about the Seper story. It's always easy to blame job loss on illegals rather than on wage competition that is taking place throughout the economy. The U.S. economy creates roughly 1 million new jobs a month, and loses about 800,000. Frankly, the more I look into this stuff, the less gloomy I feel. Opponents of illegal immigration are making exactly the same arguments critics made against past immigration waves. As I mentioned at the beginning of the show, the one thing that unites all movements that express concern about immigration is a general pessimism about the state of society. For whatever reason, Republicans are pessimistic. The last great wave of anti-immigrant fervor melted after Pearl Harbor, when the previously despised Germans, Italians and Irish distinguished themselves in battle. (The Japanese didn't fare quite so well.)

Margaret, I'm not sure we're tossing Americans out of work in any significant numbers. The figures seem to tell the opposite story. Furthermore, our forefathers envisioned a nation that would be a beacon to the world. They didn't have much to say about immigration because it seemed so far-fetched. Nevertheless, some of the founders (like Hamilton)weren't citizens.

B.O. Good point. Actually, McCain-Kennedy, the most liberal bill, compels selective service application. I'm also told by military recruiters that the recruitment rate of illegals is pretty impressive. A fair number have received their citizenship posthumously.

John, I have asked the Reagan library to send a compilation of as many comments as possible on immigration, legal and illegal. Keep in mind that Reagan supported the 1986 amnesty -- which, as history shows, turned out to be a shabby half-measure. Reagan still looked at the United States as a welcoming presence in a turbulent world -- an explicitly went after those who wanted to deport workers, especially agricultural workers.

Precisely! Furthermore, it turns out the president wasn't consulted specifically about Libby's conversation with Judy Miller. He merely authorized releasing 90 pages of the NIE -- thus "declassifying" it. Nobody leaked classified information, period -- and far from being a departure from customary practice, it was SOP.

Dave et al, I'm getting a lot of heat for positions I haven't taken. I'll recap. I've said from the start that we shouldn't rush this. The awful bill before the Senate is a good reason why. I've said we need to get the practical stuff ironed out -- such as why we ought to trust a government that isn't enforcing the present law to enforce the new one. I've said that we need to get our facts straight: There's a lot of bogus "information" swirling around on both sides of the issue. So please don't mistake me for a rubber-stamp guy. Contrary to popular opinion, I want to get this right.

By the way, the problems with the feed today have nothing to do with the internet; we've got some serious technical issues in Washington, which Griff and the crew are working valliantly to fix...

Agreed. The line makes no sense. As I've pointed out, there's no job Americans won't do -- for the right price. That's simple economics, and the president would do well to drop it. It sounds as if he's insulting American workers.
