A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
—Thomas Jefferson → onemoretimewithfeeling → sds
Indeed.
Indeed.
By treating illegal low-wage workers as a de facto criminal class, the government is trying to inflate the menace they pose to a level that justifies its rabid efforts to capture and punish them. That is a fraudulent exercise, and a national disgrace.

Can you believe “the government”? Treating people engaged in illegal activity like they’re criminals!?
I think the New York Times has already switched over to some kind of bizarro world.
