Sam, what’s your beef? You seem to have something very, very personal going on. Were you mugged by an illegal immigrant? Are you running for office and using the CR for practice speech-writing? You bring a whole new dimension to the term “rant.” Does it make you feel good to say nasty things about people you don’t even know?
I think we ought to obey the law, and I think that the availability of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard pay is bad for working Americans, but I don’t get seriously enraged by it. Immigration reform is a good thing, but it has to be done humanely and sensibly. And I’m certainly not going to get high blood pressure over it.
