Here's a quick heads-up for a great post:  Riffing off of a Charles Krauthammer article about the constant characterization of border security as a conservative issue, when it really ought to be a union issue (since illegal immigrants take union jobs), the Captain takes on the entire rationale underlying the

Why haven't police been using the rallies to round up those illegal immigrants who attend?  Shouldn't it be like shooting fish in a barrel?  No raiding sweatshops, no trolling dark allies.  Instead, the illegals have come out of the shadows, into the sun, and conveniently collected themselves in nice little

As you probably know, the wobbly compromise on the immigration bill broke apart entirely. I'm not sad — I didn't like it. The Power Line guys figure that conservatives now have a brief window of time within which to have their voices heard on the issue. To that end, they've
