I can’t think of many things more likely to increase support for enforcing existing immigration law than the march of the illegals that took place in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the United States yesterday. At No Left Turns, Peter Schramm asks us to meditate on the meaning of American citizenship via papers by Matt Spalding, Charles Kesler and James Ceaser. To these I would add Ed Erler’s writings on the subject including “From subjects to citizens,” “Immigration and citizenship” and “Amnesty for illegal aliens.”
