Judge-Made Immigration Law? [Mark Krikorian]
The open-borders folks aren't taking any chances with democracy — if they can't get the elected representatives of the people to gut immigration control, how about the judges?!

But the open-borders side isn't letting up its assault on political — i.e., public — control over immigration, and has been trying to undermine the doctrine for years.
