Immigration -- just a thought or two

Wags used to say that some day there would be an occasion when there's not a casino story on the front of the ProJo. The topic du jour these day, of course, is immigration.

One colleague makes a good point. The subjects of yesterday's raids were reportedly maintenance workers at six local courthouses -- a situation showing the extent to which these individuals are performing low-level work in our midst, in public institutions.

Although the setting was different, It's somewhat reminiscent of how illegals were tending the yard at Mitt Romney's house.

Meanwhile, the immigration hot button has certainly helped to keep the focus off the economy here in Rhode Island, hasn't it?
