advocates bemoan new 'green card' system
Fewer citizens of foreign countries are
applying for "green cards" to allow them to live and
work in the United States, because the process has been computerized.
"Immigrant advocate" groups say that's unfair. Many
seekers of green cards don't have access to computers and the
Internet, the groups complain. |

Culture of Appeasement and Denial
If nothing else can be said about George
W. Bush, it's that he is a very stubborn fellow. Once he decides
that something is a good idea, evidence for or against, he will

Sadly, this stubbornness has frequently manifested itself as
appeasement of our enemies and denial of reality. |

by voters but struck down by the courts this latest effort is
a fast-food fix for an issue that needs far more care and feeding.
