A progressive plan for immigration reform

With the defeat of the Republican “sliver bullet wedge” of immigrant-bashing in last Tuesday’s election, it appears that Markos’ has had a sudden “road to Damascus” epiphany about discussing immigration issues here at Daily Kos. After three years of barely a peep about the topic on the front page, we have seen a plethora of diaries in support of comprehensive immigration reform in the last few days. (But that’s not the point of this dairy …I’ll discuss that at length at a later date.)

This sudden conversion has had seismic effects on the site as a whole. Immigration diaries which traditionally garnered little attention, or wallowed in flame wars, are now the hot topic du jour.

With that in mind, I figured it might be a good time post up a diary that sums up everything I’ve learned in my past three years here posting on immigration issues.”*
