Just remember, as you watch all of these people swarming the streets, these are the people for whom we are being asked to build more schools, more highways, more rail projects, more hospitals, more jails, more affordable housing, and so on.

Instead of paying $222 Billion, how about enforcing the laws and purging the invaders?

I love it. Everything seems so much better. The suburbs are like heaven this day.

Can we have this done every day?

It was a great day! It was SO good not seeing the illegal criminals standing on all of the street corners on the way to work this morning. I e-mailed the President as soon as I got to work telling him how pleasant it was.

And we survived.

Survived? This is one of the best days I can remember. It's worth deporting a couple of hundred thousand just for the traffic benefit.

Water cooler quote heard in my office today:
"I don't care if they come to American and want to be Americans. I have a problem with them coming to America and wanting to be Mexicans."

Love it!

"They will see how much money immigrants spend, and how much immigrants contribute to the economy of the country."

The surprise is it won't impact.

But in a neighborhood where every other storefront seems to house a tacqueria, you would have been hard-pressed to find a burrito.
