1. What an idiot. So who cleans her house? Does her yardwork? Processes the meat?

Who cleans her husband’s office and her childrens’ schools? Who sits next to her babysitter on the city bus? The caregivers in nursing homes? When she and her husband go out to dinner, who are the busboys in the restaurant? The salad prep workers?

I’m a Californian. I know very well which economic niches these immigrants fill. They are’t all hoeing crops and picking broccoli. She may think they are invisible (yet “hard working” ! ) but in fact they share a lot of space and air with the rest of us. If not for sheer humanity, then at least enlightened self-interest should dictate making sure they don’t get sick with contagious diseases.

What an idiot.
