Is Immigration This Year’s Gay Marriage?
Andrés Martinez on Stumped thoughtfully responds to the question whether the Republican candidates will try to make “Immigration This Year’s Gay Marriage?” Among other things, Martinez discusses the oft-unexplored linkages between trade and migration.
On a related note, efforts are being made to place anti-affirmative action initiatives, like those passed in California, Washington, and, most recently, Michigan, on the 2008 ballot in a number of states. This might affect the Presidential election in those states, just like the gay marriage measures did in sveral states in 2004. We wil see but stay tuned!
