n lunch break I caught a few words of Senate debate on the illegal immigration mess. New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez (Democrat) was playing the "I'm one of the compassionate, good guys on this issue!" role. At the same time, he was blasting anyone who challenges the scheme dreamed up to FIX immigration procedures and calling those people nativists, racists, and mean-spirited. Hey, if it is evil to want to know who is entering our country and to have a legal and enforceable process for those wishing to do so, I guess I'm on the list of evil ones. If it is evil to ask employers not to exploit people who are at their mercy due to illegal status, I'm evil. So, if that's the level of the debate, just call me evil, Sen. Menendez.
