Anti-Immigrant Krikorian and Malkin Draw Criticism from Own Side

In “They Make You Embarrassed to be a Conservative,” UCLA law professor Professor Stephen Bainbridge — never confused for being a bleeding heart liberal — criticizes Mark Krikorian and Michelle Malkin for blaming the current economic downturn on minorities and undocumented immigrants:

“Some of my fellow conservatives are not only embarrassing themselves during the financial crisis, they’re embarrassing the rest of us who share that label. E.g., Mark Krikorian, who poses the question of whether there’s a cause and effect relationship between WaMu’s failure and its affirmative action policies. Worse yet, is Michaelle Malkin, who somehow manages to conflate the financial crisis with illegal immigration.”
