Ali,

Certainly wasn't meant to be. I was just surprised by the federal-wall part. I hadn't heard that before and was interested in figuring out where he was drawing the lines. As for data, some CIS stuff is great, some is shaky. Same for state and federal numbers. It's very difficult to get a handle on the real numbers. Final point: I probably should have said "defiant" rather than angry. He had a much tougher tone than the last time we talked, and I found it striking. He made that clear when he talked about his disappointment with the political class, and the administration in particular.

Trust me, I'm not stringing anybody along. In fairness to all, I'll reach a final decision tomorrow. The WH gets to make any announcements, yea or nay, since it's a personnel issue for the President and his team. For now, no decision. No news.

Bill,

Thanks for the blanket insults. I'll get to a couple points. I posed the figure about Mexican immigration, which I've heard since writing the column, but haven't confirmed. I'm busy trying to figure out what the facts are, and when I'm wrong, I correct myself. This isn't about politics to me, although I have mentioned the political dimension. It's about getting things right. As for the limousine Republican idiocy, you've got the wrong guy.

Lib,

I've been looking at the statistics. The crime figures, as far as I can tell, are made up. Someone sent me an estimate that 70 percent of the prisoners in Calif. are illegals. I'll let you know as soon as I get some data that are more on the mark. I'm in the process of going state by state and county by county to get a handle on the situation. The unemployment figures are rough estimates from the Department of Labor. I don't have the documents in front of me, but I'll put together a compendium of sources in the next few days (I'm working on a Weekly Standard piece that tries to sort out fact and fiction). One other datum I'm trying to analyze -- the claim that only one-third of illegals are from Mexico. In any event, a couple of things for your consideration: Economic growth is approaching 5 percent, unemployment is down to 4.7 percent. It's 4.6 percent for immigrants, somewhat higher for native-born Americans; 9.3 percent for blacks. Crime rates are down consistently in all the border states during the time period of the "invasion." Income is up. Employment is up. You get the idea. The highest growth areas in Texas, according to the Dallas Fed's report published last month, are border towns.

I note that you don't address the suggestion that we insist on English language proficiency as a condition of citizenship (a relatively easy thing to do; if you don't take the test in English, you don't become a citizen). You don't break the law (the proposals before Congress include periodic background checks), and stay off welfare (which is what some state laws now require).

As for potential conservatives and Republicans: Let's see: You've got a large Catholic base. You have intact families. You have people who show up for work and actually invest. That sounds like a Republican base to me. Indeed, the Hispanic vote in the U.S. was overwhelmingly Republican before Prop 187.

There's not much evidence these folks find attractive the idea of becoming wards of the state. You can explain why they are different than you, since I assume you wouldn't trade a job for a welfare check.

Forgive me if I don't write at greater length during the show. But stay tuned, I'll publish something soon, and invite your critiques -- and everybody else's.

John,

Now you're getting snarky. McInerney isn't a preening egomaniac, as you suggest. Just as you think some are miscasting some of the dissidents, you have absolutely stepped over the line in taking shots at McInerney. I'll share more with you in other venues, if you're interested.

Bill,

I'm so glad you know everything about me -- because obviously you know nothing. I won't waste time defending my bona fides. I'll just suggest you stop concocting conspiracy theories and do what I've suggested in the case of Salena: figure out the facts, and then make your charges. When it comes to my history, or even my social circles, you're clueless.

Back off Salena. She's a terrific journalist, and honest. She's correct about her bona fides, and even more honest in assessing the Swann campaign. Don't call her names because she's passing on a truth you don't like. Figure out how to make things better.
