Thoughts on Immigration: Tancredo Here; Howard Down Under

Monique Chartier

Former Congressman Tom Tancredo will have two public appearances tomorrow in Rhode Island: the first, at 4:30 pm outside of the gate (outside because the college did not invite him to speak inside; there are conflicting reports as to how and why this came about) of Providence College; the second, at 7:00 pm at the Euart Post, 55 Overland Avenue, Pawtucket.

On the slightly different matter of immigration (as opposed to the illegal variety), in 2007, then Prime Minister of Australia John Howard changed the name of the "Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs" to the "Department of Immigration and Citizenship". Asked why he did so by The Corner's Peter Robinson, Mr. Howard replied

The whole idea of immigration is to make citizens. Multiculturalsim is a very confused credo.
Comments

Has the whole world gone bloody mad? I thought RI had harnessed the most ignorant, socialist, useless people on the face of the earth with the Obamanator, as their leader.

Dear Lord, take me now off this earth before I regret taking another breath.

Egads!!

Don a purple shroud and brand new NIKEs.

Lie down with a spiked vodka beverage.

Wait for the spaceship to arrive.

farewell.
