	Rob Sobhani on Immigration on National Review Online
		The 1990s mass immigration to America is the result of foreign policy directives that failed to address the core problems of freedom, economic opportunity, and corruption in countries like Mexico, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, India, and the Philippines, among others.
		Of course, it is crucial that the new immigration office devise strict guidelines governing who is allowed into America and then ensuring that they do not overstay their visas.
		Therefore, under the banner of diversity, a window of opportunity has opened for recent immigrants (primarily Hispanics and Asians) and that same window has been slammed shut on the fl underclass.
