...Finally, it is questionable why our primary concern when faced with genocide should be whether our own hands are somehow dirtied by it. It makes little sense for strategies that could effect real change in Darfur, such as military intervention or humanitarian aid, to be ignored in favor of attempts to clear our own consciences. It is self-centered of students to suggest that Harvard’s portfolio matters at all to those directly affected by the genocide...

Bush came into office in 2001 in favor of a pathway to citizenship for some illegals, only to discover that his party's right flank opposed it. Giuliani, McCain and Romney, all of whom to varying degrees once backed that approach, have recalibrated their positions so that they share the public's desire to secure the borders before granting aliens any legal rights to put down roots. The party's nativist temptation is already having an impact...
