Sure, fine, okay-- global warming exists after all... but only to the extent that it's one more thing we can blame on the immigrants.

Such is the fascinating scholarship now offered to us by the brilliant minds at the Center for Immigration Studies.

Luckily, we have America's Voice-- a group I've had the pleasure of working with, a group doing everything it can to combat this inanity and work toward the sort of sensible, humane, comprehensive policy that American citizens have been calling out for.

In my first diary here about America's Voice, I wrote about the group's name. Then I wrote about one particularly odious band of racists who oppose our agenda...

..but the lunatics at FAIR aren't the only enemy. I love the skewering that America's Voice hands to the CIS:

Did you know that immigrants are to blame for Global Warming? That's the conclusion of a recent "study" released by the anti-immigrant "think" tank - the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), which has a history of publishing less-than-credible research.... After a careful review of "Immigration to the United States and World-Wide Greenhouse Gas Emissions," we produced this video to tell it like it is: a bunch of... well... watch the video.

I really hope to get more of a discussion going here: what do we want out of our politicians in terms of immigration policy? What are we going to say to these shadowy groups that continue to produce shoddy scholarship advocating hate, intolerance, and misunderstanding?
