What do you think?

(The embedded video was making our page break so I'm updating the post - Mr. Kamikaze)

As soccer superstar David Beckham kicks off the Los Angeles Galaxy's 2008 season, Drew Carey asks what this says about immigration in the U.S. in a new reason.tv video.

While workers from Mexico draw the ire and fiery rhetoric of anti-immigration forces, there was no outrage or concern when the English-speaking soccer hero brought his family and curling free kicks to America.

"I think we should welcome all peaceful people to our country,” says Drew Carey. "They get to the pursue the 'American Dream' and we get to benefit from all the wonderful things that immigrants bring to our country—like good old fashioned soccer. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me."

I am in complete agreement.

Beckham does talk a little funny.

It seems like an all-too-obvious crutch statement, however I believe that at the core money is the deciding factor in the immigration issue.
As a nation we don't want to give American money away,but we are open for business if you have some money to bring in. It's ugly, it's short-sighted, but I'm afraid that it might be true.
Beckham probably wishes that his salary was index linked to the Euro.
