Are mainstream conservatives starting to talk about legal immigration, not just illegal immigration? Did Virgil Goode open Pandora’s box? From Gary Bauer’s email today:

The Bad News: Islamists Marching In Minneapolis
When Ethiopian troops and their Somali allies marched into Mogadishu, many residents there cheered. For months they had been living under Sharia law, enforced in Islamic courts. The courts were brutal and their rulings were enforced by jihadist thugs in each neighborhood. People were shot if they were caught watching a soccer game on TV, for example, and beaten if they failed to pray five times a day. There were public floggings and bans on music and women swimming.
But there is evidence that some Somalis here in the United States support the brutal Islamic courts. Last Saturday, 1,500 Somalis demonstrated in Minneapolis in favor of a Sharia law regime in Somalia. They demanded that the United States stop supporting Ethiopia. Hassan Mohamud, imam of St. Paul’s Al Taqwa Mosque, praised the brutal courts for bringing so-called “peace and security.” Some Germans once said the exact same thing about Adolf Hitler.
That 1,500 Somalis in Minneapolis were willing to rally publicly for this kind of oppression is deeply disturbing. I can’t help but notice that none of the demonstrators have chosen to live in Somalia, but rather have come here.
Illegal immigration is one problem, but how many people are we allowing into the country LEGALLY who are bringing with them the murderous worldview of the Islamic fascists? We will continue to work very hard to press both the White House and Congress for immigration reform that places America’s national security first.

I wonder what Bauer means specifically by that last line? I wonder if Mr. Coleman could ask Bauer what changes he is seeking in the immigration of Muslims? If it adds up to anything truly substantive, I’ll be surprised.

Am I the only one who noticed the contradiction inherent in “St. Paul’s Al Taqwa Mosque”?
