Threaten the children

I'm often critical of NPR, but the interview they ran last night, with the real estate developer behind the proposition to deny benefits to the children of illegal immigrants -- children who were born in this country and therefore, U.S. citizens -- was extremely powerful.

Not sure who the interviewer was; I think she's the head of NPR's new "California bureau." She was certainly very good last evening.

Californians should stop blaming "illegals" for an economy -- and a political system that abets it -- that is no less fundamentally "boom and bust" than it was in 18 fucking 49.
