But in essence, it is just stupid to attract millions of illegal, unskilled workers at the same time that one is kicking out or excluding hundreds of thousands of educated and skilled people. Our current immigration policy may do a lot for orderly shrubbery, but it doesn’t do much for intellectual property. You should be a strong voice for change.
And one last thing we would all like to see. Here you are, having a great time during a historic moment in St. Paul, Minnesota’s capital. You should nominate Governor Tim Pawlenty as vice president of the United States. He would bring youth, energy, and tireless enthusiasm to your ticket. Tim is a committed conservative on social issues, while at the same time not regarded as a wingnut—you know what I mean. And as a governor, he has actually run something as an executive. Do the right thing: Nominate Pawlenty.
Please come back to Minnesota again. And one more thing: Please clean up as you leave the Xcel Energy Center. We have to play hockey here next month.
Sincerely Yours,
Vance K. Opperman
Political Friend and Early Co-Chair, RNC Host Committee
