The writer makes some really interesting points in this piece on dehumanizing not everyone who commits an illegal act, but a certain segment of society that may (or may not) have committed an illegal act.
But we don't want to offend captains of industry or parents who need (want?) a nanny, so we demonize the people who fill a need (whether they were born here or are here legally or not). We demonize brown people and gay people and single mothers and any group behaving in a way we don't like (though how a gay person paying taxes or a brown person carrying for a young shild are behaving in ways we don't like is beyond me.
Oh well. As long as we have someone to despise I guess we can feel better about ourselves.
Really?
