It is proving increasingly difficult to find the adequate research compiling time to complete my last post on 9/11 theories, but it is on the way slowly but surely. In the meantime, though, allow me to briefly switch gears to share some considerations I have had recently about the illegal immigration “issue” here in the U.S.
I have been fairly silent on the issue since it has become a more mainstream topic over the last couple years. This is due in part to not having a fully formed opinion and also to just being repelled by the extreme rhetoric which surrounds most circles of the debate.
[Note: I do not wish here to provide (nor have I) any solutions or specific notions for how immigration should be handled. Nor do I wish to attempt to justify illegal immigration in any way. I merely wish to pose some questions and question/challenge some of the arguments and assumptions which surround the debate.]
