Latinos souring on illegal immigration

On the other are those who sneak across the border, work under the table without paying taxes, contribute as perpetrators or victims to human trafficking (which is only a modern term for “slavery”), or have their anchor babies so they can stay and get all kinds of government handouts.

The other day, I went out on an errand. I departed from the light rail station and set off down a path to a shopping area.

Right ahead of me was a youngish man, not too tall. He didn't have on a backpack and a cap (as his sort usually do), but was wearing a pullover sweater and blue jeans. His demeanor, however, was exactly the same as that of his brethren: he shuffled along, looking at the ground. Furtive. He didn't stride confidently ahead: his gait was a hesitating lope.

Right at the edge of the shopping area was a low metal fence. There was a path to the left, around it. This fellow, however, didn't take the path: he planted a hand on the rail and quickly vaulted over, then went to the back door of a fast-food restaurant whose front window faced the street. He knocked on the door until someone let him in.

I thought: He got into this country the same way he got past that fence at the edge of the shopping area.

I made a mental note of the name of the restaurant. They hire illegal aliens. Not a place to patronize.

Do you suppose this fellow will be voting on Tuesday?
