   We’ve Lost Sight of the Plot in the Immigration Debate

There are legitimate policy arguments on all sides, but the story of immigration is getting slaughtered in the crossfire.

As the immigration debate hit another low last week, I received the news that my favorite immigrant died: my father-in-law, Paul Gavora.

I don’t want to politicize Paul’s story too much, or really at all. For me, the man wasn’t a talking point; he was a hero.

Goldberg's point is that because some immigrants were/are a benefit to America, all immigrants (legal and illegal and in whatever numbers, presumably) are and forever will be a benefit to America.

Big on emotion, small on rationality.

Actually, it’s not.  Try reading it without your ideological blinders on.
