I Feel Dirty...

...I actually agree with something Bill O'Reilly has to say.

On an episode of the "O'Reilly Factor" this week, Bill'O had Michelle Malkin on to discuss a number of issues, including the Iraq debate and immigration. The latter is a favorite subject of Malkin's whose immigration stance is based less on legal concerns, but rather on her well-known xenophobic fervor (hilarious examples- here and here). And it was on this topic that Bill'O took Malkin to task for her position (by Fox standards anyway). Here is what he said-
"Michelle, do you think there's going to be any compromise on the immigration bill, or do you still wanna kick doors and drag little kids out and throw them across the border?... Because I believe that part of the problem is the federal government's problem. That these people came here illegally, yes, but we allowed them to. And we are at fault too. And because we bear some responsibilty, we ought to cut them some slack, while at the same time securing the border so it never, ever happens again."

I actually agree with his stance there. It's been that kind of a week, I guess.

Just found u via blog search 4 bill o'reilly as have done MASSIVE post on him.99% of the time I can't stand the man and think he talks out of his rear end. Even though in this instance he does talk some sense, in that your goverment effectively condoned this problem, i still feel a vague sense of xenophobia creeps in. Anyhoo if you are interested in my post do please pay a visit. Frustrated.

I agree xenophobia is playing a major role, particularly on the Malkin wing of the Republican party.

But the basic point of securing the border is right, I believe.
