Andrew Sullivan is inspired by this animated clip … as I think every resident of the USA should be. (Note: The first time I pressed “play,” the video zipped through to the end. Once it was over, I hit “play” again, and it proceeded more slowly. That slower pace the second time around was, IMHO, the better effect.)

Here’s hoping that — as/if we update immigration policies to advance security — we don’t inadvertently squelch this trend. We are better for it.
