• Citizenship As Foundation

Spilling over in the 2008 presidential campaign, the debates around immigration have extended to questions about the right to citizenship for American-born children of "illegal aliens." While the rhetoric of presidential candidates about restricting birthright citizenship powers by, for instance, limiting housing or job prospects for unauthorized immigrants, both obscure a basic point: rescinding the rights of unpopular minorities undermines the foundations of the most fundamental freedoms. Sobel discusses the nature of American citizenship.

• Rev. Jesse Jackson Calls for Government Action Against 'Economic Tsunami' of Mortgage Foreclosures

These people need to be bailed out," Rev. [Jesse L. Jackson Sr.] said. "We must come together to make this an issue in the [2008] presidential debates. If this many people are facing an economic tsunami, this should have some meaning to those candidates. "This has reached epidemic proportions, since the product itself triggers foreclosures," [John Taylor] said. "We haven't even felt the full wave of foreclosures - not only in Chicago but across the nation." "The regulatory failure here is a moral" failure as well," Taylor added.

• Is Mccain Counting On 'Bradley Effect' to Beat Obama?

As the days dwindle down to a precious few before the Nov. 4 presidential election, it is becoming clearer that John McCain's only hope of defeating Barack Hussein Obama is a 2008 version of California's infamous "Bradley Effect." And I believe the McCain campaign is counting on it. Now it's 2008. After the presidential and vice presidential debates, the question of race, as always, remains the key issue. It was so when Obama opposed [Hillary Clinton] in the Democratic primaries and Bill Clinton claimed Obama was "playing the race card" against him. Nothing has changed in Obama's general election campaign against McCain.
