In the theater of politics, you get credit for publicly attacking illegal immigrants, and privately employing them to fatten your bottom line.

You get no credit for actually doing something to address the bosses who employ and exploit illegals because you aren't actually attacking any brown foreigners.

It's 'Republicans are good on national security' all over again.

Killing swarthies visibly and often, but doing nothing to actually improve national security, wins elections.

Actually improving national security, but refusing to indulge the masses taste for watching the spectacle of lesser breeds without the law dying, for their amusement, on basic cable, loses elections.

It's all about beating up brown people.

I weep for my republic.
