Immigration

Interesting article by Thomas Edsall. A couple of thoughts:

1 - First time I've seen mentioned that Clinton's pro-immigration stance hurt her among African-americans.
2 - For a Democratic subset, the blurring of legal immigration and illegal immigration by the party and liberal media can be infuriating.
3 - You can't underestimate the law and order component of immigration.
4 - Just because you are uncomfortable about growing numbers of people in your local community that don't speak any English doesn't make you a bigot or a racist.
5 - Illegal immigration is the physical manifestation of free trade. I don't think many people understand or appreciate this.
