On immigration bill protesters

Michelle Malkin has been doing the best job with this. Ironically, something I found in a book I'm reading for a political science class says it best.

"The relative difference between this and other waves of immigration is that these immigrants want to share in the distribution of the nation's material goods, but they are hardly interested at all in identifying with the political values of the same community."

Jean Leca in "Questions on Citizenship"
Dimensions of Radical Democracy (Chaltal Mouffe, editor)

Update: Laura posts in agreement with Michelle Malkin over the divisiveness of the protesters' reactions in relation to "reactive culturalism".
