Hero/Hack: Immigration Edition: The Neverending Story
My hero this week is Guvernator Ahh-nohhld Schwarzenegger, for taking a stand for assimilation:As an immigrant himself, Arnold's certainly qualified to make that kind of suggestion, even if his English is heavily accented."You've got to turn off the Spanish television set" and avoid Spanish-language television, books and newspapers, the Republican governor said Wednesday night at the annual convention of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
"You're just forced to speak English, and that just makes you learn the language faster," Schwarzenegger said.
"I know this sounds odd and this is the politically incorrect thing to say, and I'm going to get myself in trouble," he said, noting that he rarely spoke German and was forced to learn English when he emigrated from Austria.
My hacks are Sens. Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, for reviving the "mostly dead"
immigration bill:In a joint statement, Mr. Reid and Mr. McConnell said: “We met this evening with several of the senators involved in the immigration bill negotiations. Based on that discussion, the immigration bill will return to the Senate floor after completion of the energy bill.”This is proof that bad bills don't die.
