Paul Krugman writes:
In other words, I'm instinctively, emotionally pro-immigration. But a review of serious, nonpartisan research reveals some uncomfortable facts about the economics of modern immigration, and immigration from Mexico in particular. If people like me are going to respond effectively to anti-immigrant demagogues, we have to acknowledge those facts...

The idiots accomplished one thing with their 'overthrow' the U.S. government march. Millions of slow to anger American 'citizens' are now ready to throw the criminals back across the border.
