Immigration — The New Affirmative Action?

In “Immigration is new affirmative action,” Peter A. Brown on Politico.com writes that “[i]mmigration is becoming for the 2008 election what affirmative action/racial preferences was 15 years ago — the kind of emotional wedge issue that offers Republicans a way to split rank-and-file Democrats from their leaders.”  I hope that Brown is not right but the article provides food for thought.
