A great symposium sponsored by the Center for Immigration Studies, featuring the inimitable Mickey Kaus, which examines the self-serving narrative constructed by journalists in order to manipulate news coverage of immigration issues.

With a little under a month remaining until Election Day, the Obama campaign has transitioned into full-blown hispandering mode.
