We Ask You: What do ANTI and PRO really mean?

Commenter Maryst drew our attention to an interesting, very relevant question.

For those of you who read a lot about immigration online, you know that the blogosphere and forums often refer to the "ANTIs" and the "PROs".

So we want to know, from you, how you would explain either category. ANTIs: what are you against? PROs: what are you for? And how do you see the opposing group? Alternatively, do you feel you don't fit into either of those categories? Why?

We Ask You: A government immigration ombudsman?

While making the Internet rounds this morning, we came across an incredibly interesting concept. In Australia, there is a government-funded position called "Commonwealth and Immigration Ombudsman."

The man who currently holds this position, John McMillan, reports on how he feels the Department of Immigration has been doing. For example, he recently released a report criticizing the department for several errors that led to the detention of 247 immigrants there.

Is such a thing even potentially feasible in the United States—an ombudsman for the Department of Homeland Security or U.S. Immigration? Would such a position be beneficial or do other members of society provide enough necessary criticism that there's no need for it? What would such a position add, if anything? Would the government stand for it? Would voters like this idea? Do you? Post in the comment section and let's get some good discussion going.
