Viva La Migra!

I'm in D.C. (for all of those who've wondered where exactly I dissapeared to..) in the midst of the big Immigration (with a capital I) debate. The protests would probably be a lot more effective if a) they didn't block traffic and b) took place while congress was actually sitting deciding the particular bill. Call me crazy.. (crazy) but I understand the resistance. While I can get all touchy feely and talk about border dissolution as wildly and speculatively as the next barefoot gal - the fact is, we do have borders. And citizens. And health care. And minimum wage. And if you want those things? Do not go quietly into our great night and sneak across the border, but immigrate legally. And don't hold up the streets. It's bad P.R.
