Overall, the article provides a balanced view of why many on both the left and the right hate the new bill. Although discreet, the author likely has liberal sentiments, but by liberal I mean concerned about the welfare of the immigrant population, as well as the repudiation of long-standing American values. Obviously, one reviewer, likely conservative, believes he knows what Americans want, strong border control, but obviously the issue is much less one-sided. Another reviewer commented on the use of the phrase "Know Nothings," deeming it an insult, although it refers to a particular political group from the 19th century: The Know Nothing movement was a nativist American political movement of the 1850s. It grew up as a popular reaction to fears that major cities were being overwhelmed by Irish Catholic immigrants whom they regarded as hostile to American values and controlled by the Pope in Rome.
