Jan Ting mentioned on NationalReview.com's The Corner

Mark Krikorian wrote the following:

Temple U. law professor Jan Ting won a straw poll of the Delaware Republican state committee this week to run against Sen. Tom Carper (there's a perennial gadfly also seeking the nomination). Ting, who was assistant INS commissioner in Bush 41 (and is a Fellow at my Center), has an uphill battle before him, since Carper has $2 million in the bank and near-universal name recognition. But Carper also has a D- grade from Americans for Better Immigration, and if immigration becomes a hotter political issue (there are more illegal immigrants in Delaware than you'd think) Ting, the son of Chinese immigrants and a pro-enforcement hard-liner, could just pull it out.

He's a bit more optimistic on Ting's chances than I might be, but he's right that illegal immigration could become a hot political topic on Delaware sometime soon. Sussex County has a large number of migrant workers, many of whom no doubt are illegal.

As I wrote on my own blog yesterday, we need to come to some rational decision on this issue soon that doesn't reward lawbreakers while still allowing people who wish to join our society to do so. Immigration should be allowed, but we need to acculturize them to our society so that our "Melting Pot" can continue to flourish.
