'Tis the political season, which means the season to bash immigrants. This goes especially for so-called illegal aliens, i.e., residents without government papers. (As if that's a big deal.) Candidates and others who are so set on securing the Mexican border -- the Canadian border seems of less concern -- and expelling those who had the audacity to come to the land of the free without permission mainly rely on two arguments: jobs and welfare. If those are the best arguments they've got, they haven't got much.The rest of this week's TGIF, "A Matter of Priorities," is at the Foundation for Economic Education website.

The Immigration issue is keeping me from supporting Ron Paul. For someone who makes decisions based the Constitution, he doesn't seem to understand the 14th Amendment or the right to contract. The Constitution protects all people in the United States.
Robert, I share your concern. When Ron Paul used the word "invasion" in referring to immigration, I was outraged.
