Former contributor to the lunatic libertarian magazine Reason Matt Welch was recently hired by the L.A. Times to write the occasional editorial. Could "A silly sting" be his very first effort? If so, bravo! (If not, bravo to whoever wrote it!)

It's truly a wonderful piece in the classic Tokyo Rose style, mocking those who want to take the revolutionary step of enforcing our immigration laws and ultimately benefiting those corrupt employers in Orange County who employ illegal aliens.

The editorial points out that immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility. Of course, the editorialist also knows that the federal government refuses to do its job. Unfortunately, some people might not know the latter, and in that case they would have been misled.
