AL SHARPTON
"I think that immigration policies are antiquated and in many cases biased. You see, there's a much different policy at the Canadian border than at the Mexican border. I'd have one policy. I'd have it more relaxed, just for opportunity. ... I think we need to sit down and have a respectful relationship with Mexico, where we deal with them as a partner."

Al is a savvy politician, but either (a) he is out of touch with his base here who are being outcompeted for low-end economic opportunities by Mexicans, or (b) shilling for Haitians and Jamaican votes without saying so.

Big Al: "I think we need to sit down and have a respectful relationship with Mexico, where we deal with them as a partner."

How do we have a respectful relationship with a country that actively encourages its citizens to break the law and enter our country illegally? Seems like Mexico has a total lack of respect (or is it open disdain?) for our sovereignty.
