Something we should learn in almost all public policy issues is "SOME ARE, SOME AREN'T"
When someone says "illegals are hard-working family people" the right answer is "some are, some aren't." When some one else says "illegals are disease-ridden drunk drivers and rapists" -- SoOme are, some aren't.
The one thing you can says for all is: -- they're here illegally. And that's what policy, and commentary, should focus on.
