Vein-Popping Alert

So, yeah, Billo blew a gasket last night.



And Geraldo had to be the voice of reason, bizarrely enough, explaining that immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens. He could have added that immigrants are the only people propping up US cities from a total collapse in population (though I think this discounts gentrification and urban renewal a bit, which is happening, if not all over), as well as the fact that even illegal immigrants pay money to have their taxes done.

When the bashers of brown people harp on how much money immigrants take out of the economy, they never mention how much they put into it, which is substantial. I believe in vigorous workplace enforcement, especially once a comprehensive solution is reached, but I can't countenance this constant demonization of the other that drives one side of the immigration debate. It's simple scapegoating.
