Dara took issue with my advocacy of sanctuary cities and municipal ID cards by arguing that it's not important that we assimilate illegal immigrants into our communities by means of the state.
I wouldn't want to make the Oakeshottian argument that there can be no personal identity outside of the state, but I do think that one is either a citizen or an outlaw. These two can mean lots of different things, citizenship especially, and I don't have a strong preference for one over the other, but the choice has to be made.
I guess I'll just wait for the next Doublethink like everybody else...
UPDATE: And here it is.
