Mad Maxwell
A filmmaker on immigration.

Excerpt...

Maxwell:

I have got to say Edward Kennedy. One has to admire this rascal. He has almost single-handedly got the entire country into this immigration mess. With unlimited personal wealth and not a personal financial care from cradle to grave, he has done his utmost to depress the wages of working-class Americans by doing everything conceivable at every point in his interminable career to flood the country with cheap, illegal labor. What is more remarkable is that he has achieved this by posing as a champion of the little guy! If he says, "This bill is not an amnesty" one more time I think he'll split his lip.

What Bush fails to see at the border
TODAY'S COLUMNIST
By Ronald F. Maxwell
April 6, 2006

Dear President Bush, Perhaps you know me from my work. I wrote and directed the movies "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals." Walking Civil War battlefields, soaking up the letters and diaries of that generation, re-creating the world of our ancestors -- all this has given me a deep appreciation for our country. My dad was with the Army Air Corps in North Africa while your dad was in the Pacific. My French mother was liberated in Tunisia and became a lawful immigrant to the United States. For an American, my story is unique and typical at the same time.
