"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Democrats Cowed by GOP Scare Tactics on Immigrants
"Espaillat voiced what many Latino leaders now fear: Illegal immigration is rapidly becoming the boogey man of the upcoming presidential race. Republican leaders, fearing a complete rout of their party in next year's national election, are determined to ride public anger over undocumented immigrants in the same way they rode anger over gay marriage in the 2004 race. Look at all those illegal Salvadoran gardeners and Mexican bus boys and Jamaican nannies and Haitian sugar cane cutters - all those weapons of mass destruction aimed at America . Terrorists abroad. Alien invasion within. Danger everywhere." All about appearances and strategy with these career politicians....a big game of monopoly.
