...solution is to set up a system that will encourage illegal aliens to self-deport and come back legally as guest workers,? Pence, the grandson of an Irish immigrant, says in prepared remarks. ?The visa will be issued only outside of the United States. Outside of the United States. That is a key point because it is the provision that will require the 12 million illegal aliens to leave. Now, some of you are thinking to yourselves that 12 million people aren?t going to pack up and leave just to get a visa to come back legally...

...Many of my fellow patients were injured by remote-controlled bombs, planted in roads like Route Irish, a five-mile stretch from the hospital to Baghdad International Airport. It is one thing to hear about the roadside explosions, and another to go for a ride with an HBO cameraman along "the most dangerous road in the world." The viewer sees the deadly effects all too plainly: concrete curbs smashed every few yards from explosions...

...issue of race head-on: should ethnicity be a factor in granting citizenship? There are a small number of respectable scholars, like Harvard's Samuel P. Huntington, who argue that the large Hispanic influx into America does threaten its character.

...Faith Healer The one-person show is, I confess, not my favorite form of theater, and this play by Irish dramatist Brian Friel is essentially four of them, delivered by three different characters who never interact onstage: an itinerant faith healer (who, being the title character, gets to talk twice), his wife and his manager. The actors ? Ralph Fiennes, Cherry Jones and Ian McDiarmid ? are wonderful, but this is one very long slog, with whatever dramatic momentum is generated dissipated by a climax of rather annoying obliqueness. This is the sort of self-conscious showcase for ?writing? and ?acting? that...

...LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE A feared IRA terrorist loses his cat. Mayhem ensues. In his latest take on the casual perversity of the rural Irish character, Martin McDonagh (The Beauty Queen of Leenane, The Lonesome West) comes closer to self-parody than is probably advisable, as the body count (well, body-part count) exceeds that of all his other plays put together. Still, it's a bravura black comedy that shows off one of the most original and seductive voices in theater today...
