US immigration mania

As noted in a previous post, US anti-immigration sentiment has spread like a right-wing arsonist's wildfire. Hatemongers use a familiar 'defending the taxpayer' sword when attacking illegals, but it's a load of crap. Legal or illegal dark-skinned men and women who appear non-Christian are loathed and feared by the great unwashed midsection of the US. Bob Herbert describes this 21st-century witch hunt; Mother Jones eviscerates sudden Republican frontrunner Mike Huckabee's swing from compassion to intolerance.
