It always really stuns people when I say this, but I've never been... more comfortable and glad to be an American than when taking comparative immigration law. Europe is cool and liberal about a lot of things, but race and immigration aren't among them, at least in my opinion. (That's not dumping on this issue in particular, but generally I... find the way some European countries have dealt with these issues to be far more repugnant to my social and political conscience than has been the case in the U.S. - and I know that's saying something.)
