Dear Editor:
In the "Editor's Comments" on 11/12/03 you put forth an interesting hypothesis about the impact that a possible run by Pat Buchanan for the presidency would have on the chances of an amnesty (Yes, I know you call it "legalization") for illegal aliens. In doing so you used the term "anti-immigrationists" and wrote that they're a "miniscule group". If you're referring to people who are "anti" all immigration, I believe you're correct. If you're referring to people who favor drastically reducing immigration, I believe you're incorrect. The polls have been discussed (and cussed) often on ILW.COM and they indicate that a very large majority of citizens (and many immigrants) want a reduction in legal immigration and an end to illegal immigration. Surely you can't be saying that virtually all those polls are wrong?
