This List is Getting Bigger, Isn't It?

And while we’re at it, can we all stop pretending to take Illegal Immigration seriously? I mean, for all the daily screeds and panic we’re getting re “Oh my god, illegal immigration is tearing apart the fabric of America, destroying us!!!”, the best that these think tanks can come up with to solve the biggest problem in the country is…building a wall? LITERALLY building a wall? That’s it? That’s vision? That’s wisdom? And let’s not even build a full wall; let’s build it a third of the size it needs to be and leave it at that. What do these people think they’re doing, amassing troops to go to war?

Isn’t Bush the #1 Acolyte of Reagan, Mr. “Tear Down this Wall”? This is the best we can come up with? This is like deciding to solve world hunger by giving everybody a sandwich. Unbelievable. Don’t ask me to take this issue seriously if your big solution is Lego blocks.
