There will be several immigration-related panels at CPAC. I’ll be on one Saturday, along with Robert Rector of Heritage and Prof. Jim Gimpel from the University of Maryland. Before that, also on Saturday, is another panel entitled “Saving Freedom from Obama’s Immigration Plan”; sounds good, except that Obama’s immigration plan is the same as Bush’s and McCain’s, and the panel includes Linda Chavez and John Fund, who I thought were for Obama’s immigration plan. Also, this morning there was a panel on “The Rise of Latino Conservatism” sponsored by the group I mentioned yesterday (here, here, here, and here). If anyone was in attendance, let me know how it went.

The agenda is again very light on foreign affairs, with only one panel addressing it directly, asking “What is a Conservative Foreign Policy?” It looks like the speakers have a range of views, so I’ll make sure to drop by, but I’m still dismayed at how little attention it gets.
