The Taboo Subject at the Core of the Immigration Debate

Finally, this weekend, Air America's Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy broke the silence about migration problems stemming from unregulated life-destructive corporate market practices. Now, David Sirota hits a home run:

The answer points to the silver lining in the current furor over immigration: namely, that Americans' concerns over mass illegal immigration provides an opportunity to educate the public about the very tangible, real benefits of bettering conditions in the developing world. Demand that our bought-off politicians start reforming our trade policies to actually help ordinary workers - as opposed to only executives at multinational corporations - and our country will start moving to address global poverty, unfair competition, and illegal immigration.

Sirota also spots penetration of the issue into Time magazine. Keep on coming with it! This is the world's best chance since Seattle '99.
