Actually, it is all Clinton's fault since Bush inherited Clinton's economy.

Wait, no. It's all GHWB's fault since Clinton inherited GHWB's economy.

Wait, no. It's all Saint Ronnie's fault because Saint Ronnie made GHWB his Veep.

Who would have thought we'd still be suffering from the consequences of that single decision?

So a Mexican in Mexico who was once present in the US without documentation should still be a target of my eternal hate?

Man, this hatred stuff sure ain't easy! So many targets, so little time.

You can hate him if you feel you must hate illegals, but the fact that he got away with a crime doesn't make him any less of a criminal.

Unlawful presence is not criminal. But we've been over this a million times, haven't we?
