Alien Logic
February, 1995
Last year crime was the hot-button issue for politicians. This year it will be illegal immigration. For a while it seemed the issue would be welfare reform, but because 70 percent of the people on welfare are children, that topic is of limited use to vote-seekers. Besides, the parents of those children may not be rich, but they can vote. The nice thing about using illegal immigration as a political bludgeon is that the people who stand to suffer most can't vote. Be tough without pissing off any...
