I just finished speaking before a briefing of the Republican Study Committee of Colorado, a group of state legislators headed by Dave Schultheis of Colorado Springs, trying, among other things, to toughen the state’s immigration policies. Government officials need to host more public-education events like this to end the monopoly over the discussion of the issue at the state level exercised by local newspapers, leftist and ethnic groups, and chambers of commerce. In fact, the only other example I’ve seen was a conference earlier this month by the Phoenix district attorney.
