I hate to use blue state/red state descriptions and dislike painting with a broad brush, but as my pappy used to say, "If the foo shits ...":
On Immigration, The Right Loses All Compassion
When a right-wing governor like Huckabee even thinks it's too extreme, you know you've went overboard. But that's not the suprise, it's the public's reaction in Arkansas ... callers to the governor's office have been 1000-1 against his position. The fact that Clinton was governor of this state indicates that there is some hope for them, but if these callers are any indication of the rest of the state, "whoa, nelly".

"Whoa, Nelly," indeed.
The thing that's always bothered me about this is that there's plenty of room for reasoned debate on the issue of immigration, but, more often than not, people inevitably resort to knee-jerk invective.
Ugh.
It's easier to blame the "other" for our problems than it is to face the complexities that cause them. Toss them dirty immigrants and we'll be on the road to recovery.
