“Don’t Give Us Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses” Says Debate Audience

With the first anniversary of Arizona’s illegal immigrant law just behind us, last night’s debate at Open to Debate formerly known as Intelligence Squared U.S., Don’t give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses was a rousing, heated exchange on the nation’s hottest issue. According to live audience voting, the Kobach/Tancredo team made the more convincing argument by moving the most audience votes to their side at the end of the evening although the Castro/Jacoby team carried 52% of the final vote.
