Dead-End Debate Club
For those who listen to right-wing talk-radio shows or monitor the GOP blogosphere, this doesn't come as a surprise. Being "tough" on undocumented Latinos who've come here to bus tables at restaurants or clean hotel rooms is considered by many influential right-wingers to be as important as a willingness to be tough on Al Qaeda or Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Indeed, all too many Americans seem to have confused the question of what to do about people who have obeyed the laws of supply and demand, and crossed the border to find below-minimum-wage work, with that of Islamists who want to blow us up. Though most of those who now say that they're voting on immigration are not bigots themselves, they're still feeding into a tradition of nativism that has deep and ugly roots in American history.

Whatever happened to Midge Ure?
IN WESTON-SUPER-MARE on a grim November afternoon, the tide has left the amusement pier high and dry. There isn't even enough water to reflect the feeble sunlight in this out-of-season, out-of-the-way place. The nearby Playhouse theatre promises an intimate evening of music and song with Midge Ure - a 1980s pop icon, the co-founder of Band Aid and now an ageing singer-songwriter whose career seems to be fizzling out in the cold Bristol Channel. When I meet Ure in his small, bare dressing room it is 4.30pm and the sound-check is an hour away. He tells me about the time when he was sound-checking at a venue and someone came to the stage door to buy tickets for what he thought was a Midge Ure tribute band: "When the guy found out it really was me playing, he decided he didn't want the tickets after all." Ure, 54, laughs at the irony, unperturbed that some of his fans still prefer the sepia memory of his Ultravox-era moustache, the razored sideburns and the demob suit.
