OpinionJournal - John Fund on the Trail:
It’s now almost a given that no matter how large today’s boycott is, it will damage any prospects of a sensible immigration bill this year. Rep. Richard Pombo, a California Republican who represents many Central Valley farmers who are desperate for guest workers, warns that the boycott is threatening to polarize the debate. He told San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra Saunders that the presence of many Mexican and Central American flags at the March rallies by immigrants “really politicized the whole issue. It took away any hope we have of having a workable policy.”

As always, an interesting perspective on things from The Journal. Particularly relevant given what we’ve been talking about lately in my Geography of the Global Economy class… coooool.
