I’ve got to wonder what conservatism is coming to when we get in a huff about people who “happen” to be Hispanic keeping a few chickens in the yard and -— gasp -— having a vegetable garden, and when one of the leading conservative columnists wants to dictate what women can and cannot wear because her paranoia was triggered by a fringed scarf.
If I were faced with the choice of $5 per day, or $10 per hour a short hard hike away, I'd be walking with them and taking my damned chickens with me. Repeat: it is not Mexico's fault that we have an ineffective border and do not enforce our own laws, and in fact, allow a foreign power to dictate our de facto, extra-legal immigration policy.
For many, it is easier to dislike Mexicans than to think the problem through. That many are easy to dislike only compounds the problem and the stupidity.
