Last week I was here talking about America's Voice, with whom I'm working to  foster a dialogue about a sensible and humane immigration policy that works for everyone.

We got a pretty good discussion going in the comment thread, but it would have been great to get more perspectives involved.

Here's the thing: there are people who make the topic uncomfortable for civilized discourse because they speak with a snarl when they discuss immigration. They are bullies: they love nothing more than to shout louder than the next person to convince themselves they've won an argument. They speak as though there were something wrong with the people who come here to improve their lives and contribute to the wonderful tapestry of cultures that is modern American society. They've got their opinions, and they've got their anecdotes, and most importantly they've got their fear.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the unfair lunatics who call themselves FAIR:

Hate. Racism. Xenophobia. Cruelty. Fear.

What's fair about that?

What's American about that?

Please share your thoughts in the comment thread.
