Vote Getting

Color me cynical but I've come to believe that most of the debate about immigration in the US is driven by calculations of how many voters will be gained or lost with any particular approach. This is more than a little disappointing, especially as it appears that republicans may be just as guilty as democrats.

Like I said, disappointing, but at least they're not vying for the Islamic vote. Gates of Vienna has a truly scary post about the Christian wing of the Social Democratic Party's pandering for the "Muslim vote". Politically empowering Muslims in Europe seems like a short-cut to dhimmitude.
