Zina linnik seemed like a sweet girl. even though i never knew her i can tell that she is one of God's blessings. it still brings a tear to my eye to hear the tragic story. i had a sister that died once. she drowned in the ocean and was 12 just like Lina. i feel so sorry for her family. i dont see how people in this world could be so cruel. i want her family to know that they are in my prayers. if anything like this happens to me...ill be strong and think of lina. she is a miracle like know other. i heard a poem once... when we are born we cry but people around us smile.when we die people around us cry. But we smile because we are going into our Fathers arms. i hope that this will bring a little strength to Lina's family because she was smiling when she entered heaven. its a shame that threre are people in this world

The focus she makes about anchor babies is the issue in regards to this. One would think that she would go out of her way to make it clear that her parents didn't "game the system" by having a child here while on a student visa, effectively bypassing many others who had been in line long before her. Have you ever known of an issue where Malkin DID NOT speak out forcefully? She didn't on this one because it damages her credibility and "moral authority" about all she has said re anchor babies. #113

Good riddance. He’s a liar. From his post:

The visa they came on was some kind of study or work sponsored one, but not a permanent, you waited in line like everyone visa. Once Michelle was born later that year, she of course was an instant US citizen and they never left. http://www.booknotes.org/Transcript/?ProgramID=1705 has the transcript from her interview with CNN in which she punted when asked about this. #73
