Middle Tennessee has indeed become a major destination point for illegal immigrants because of the ongoing construction work available and the near-total lack of employer enforcement. 100,000 may be too conservative a number for a population that shuns accountability as a matter of course. You know of my scrapes with them as a holdout while they drove my former legal immigrant neighbors away with crime, noise, graffiti, pollution, disrespect and overall obnoxiousness. Their ranks are swelling with every new bus-liner arriving at the Adame depot behind Nolensville Road ("Nothing Runs Like a ~~Greyhound~~ Coyote!").

The OBLs would change their tune in a hurry if they had to survive the conditions I listed. Where's the sympathy for the poor and retired citizens stuck in the ever-growing barrio who have to bar their windows and watch their meager properties fall in value? Perhaps they're written off as part of "the rabble" who's role is to shut up and take it. Woe unto those who dare to bray about bad representation - they'll just be kicked to the curb like a pukin' dog by authorities with hearts as black as onyx. If those citizens banded together and marched through the stadium shouting seditious slogans they'd be incarcerated and convicted with no pardons. Do you smell what the Rokke is cookin'?

Seriously, we should follow the advice of the Minutemen and vote for the most conservative candidates available. The current state of our nation is directly attributable to voters choosing "the lesser evil" and receiving evil for their efforts. The phenomenon mentioned earlier of out-going politicos assigned the dirty work is true - apparent in the capitulation we saw last Monday and in the comments by the departing Bill Frist ("a wall is useless, they'll just go around it") right after he sent a mass email supporting one. We all deserve better than that.
