illinoisreview[illinoisreview] GOPUSA ILLINOIS Daily Clips - March 3, 2008: (By the way, the ruling never barred the government from deporting these children along with their families.) The U.S. is one of only a few countries left still foolish enough to grant automatic citizenship to children of illegals, and it is high time we joined the rest of those countries who finally got their heads screwed on straight. Tawney shows just how little he knows about this issue when he suggests that Jim Oberweis is aligned with white supremacists because he favors removing a major incentive for people to enter the country illegally.

The Opinion Blog[The Opinion Blog] A vote for Barack is a cardinal sin: Non-Catholics should care about the bishops' right-wing lurch because these men can influence a good number of the faithful, many of whom are concentrated in large, electoral-vote-rich states. In the key swing state of Ohio in 2004, for example, bishops vigorously supported an anti-same-sex marriage amendment to the state constitution, which helped drive Republican voters to the polls.

Standing FIRMhttp://fairimmigration.wordpress.com/2008/02/25/making-a-comeback-update-from-firm/ [Standing FIRM] Making a comeback - UPDATE from FIRM: A coalition of groups are actively working to hold the US Citizenship and Immigration Service accountable for their failure to keep pace with the surge in naturalization applications over the last several months.  As a result of this failure, thousands of immigrants may wait as many as 18 months to be naturalized.  One consequence of this situation is the effective disenfranchisement of thousands of new voters in the 2008 election.  The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and the National Immigration Forum are now gathering stories of individuals that will be impacted by these backlogs.  A survey is attached for individuals to fill out share their own stories.  Stories and surveys should be sent to Maurice Belanger at the Forum at mbelanger@immigrationforum.org.

But what has been lost in the process, and has yet to be replaced, are those shared assumptions - that quality of trust and fellow feeling - that bring us together as Americans."
