The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, recently gave new ammunition to those who wonder about more than her judgment as to sound public policy: they wonder about her sanity.
From Fox News, March 19, 2008
Appearing at a San Francisco Church, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a group apparently comprised of illegal immigrants and their families that enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, is "un-American."
The speaker went on to condemn agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for doing their jobs: enforcing immigration laws and arresting people living in the United States illegally, according to Fox News.
While ICE was implicitly described as “un-American,” though, the crowd attending Pelosi’s talk was told that they were "very, very patriotic."
