The Daily Background

Today’s quote of the day goes to The New Republic’s Johann Hari, who describes arch-conservative Indian-American author Dinesh D’Souza’s stance on immigration thusly:

D’Souza summarizes the prevailing sentiment by unveiling what he modestly calls ‘D’Souza’s law of immigration’: An immigrant’s quality is “proportional to the distance traveled to get to the United States.” In other words: Asians trump Latinos.

Subtle. Real subtle. I guess D’Souza will soon be calling for the US Government to halt its practice of granting “skip to the head of the line” expedited citizenship to Cuban immigrants, and instead advocating a similar policy which would apply to Iraqi refugees (less than 500 of which have been allowed citizenship the US since 2003).
