Robert Reich: "I wonder who these angry Americans are"

10. "these are desperate children"

Too bad they are coming to a country where there are already 11 million here illegally.

"I'm not suggesting we allow in anyone who wants to come here"

but then he closes with a poem suggesting just that, and there do seem to be people quite willing to allow the 11 million (or so) who already came here illegally to stay here, just like we already did in the 1980s.

Then what happens when another ten million come here illegally? They certainly have an extra incentive to come, because they can expect to become legal citizens in ten or fifteen years, just like the last batch of illegal immigrants.

Robert Reich, of all people, is supposed to know damned well who those people are. They are the ordinary people who have been getting squeezed and stepped on over the last few decades. They are people who are afraid of the future for their very own kids and grandkids.
