It's not just blue collar middle class Americans - it's Americans up and down the ladder. When an illegal becomes legal he get a first rung job on the ladder BECAUSE he's willing to work cheaper ... and that job allows him to keep moving up the ladder. It's not like any of these poeple keep 'picking crops' after they're made citizens. They don't. Which requires an unending stream of illegals to keep the system going... But aside from that, everyone has their blind spots... not just Orange Country Elites who think they 'see the larger picture'.
The fact Hewitt's a reader becomes obvious after hearing him talk for 10 minutes. He's not pushing facts to show off - facts are the solid background to his every thought. Interesting guy. Again he's sorta sorta sorta with us... Thanks for your comments.
Good conversation and you made some great points. Happy Sunday!
I listen to him because 1) he’s a lawyer and frequently can shed light on the law and 2) he has awesome guests. I haven’t heard it lately but his “smart guys” interview where 2 legal experts on both sides discuss the Supreme Court decisions beats the daylights out of most of the radio shows. However, I can’t see him becoming more conservative now that he lives in DC instead of California. Yeah, he’s sorta, sorta, sorta like us - but his show can be interesting and enlightening (especially for those of us who aren’t legal or policy wonks).
