Bloodless Coup

A (Former) Illegal Alien in the Cabinet?

I'm not entirely sure exactly what The Rude Pundit is getting at in this post, but I suppose it is an observation that might interest some people. Myself, I'm not exactly stunned that illegal aliens can go on to be upstanding members of society. But then I don't see any disconnect between being in favor of tougher border security and opposing a guest worker program on the one hand, and on the other, working with immigrants who are already here to put them in a position to become assets to the country (and citizens).
