Arkansas

I don't want to be unfair to the state of Arkansas by saying that everyone in the state subscribes to this view, so I'm not going to make any blanket statements about the caller as if they represented the state. (I mean, Bill Clinton was from Arkansas, so they can't all think like this!) But one of the people who submitted comments to CNN this morning annoyed the heck out of me.

When asking what Republicans can do to win the election, this person from somewhere in Arkansas wrote in that, if Republicans take a strong stand against immigration, they could win the election. Then he/she continued (paraphrased): After all, immigrants shouldn't be here since they can't and won't assimilate into American society.

What is this, the 1920s??
