When you want to attack someone who lives in New York City because his views on immigration differ from yours, you would probably do well to skip the following arguments:

New Yorkers don’t know anything about illegal immigration. Interesting, given that the percentage of illegals living in New York is about 750,000 in a city of 8 million — 10 percent, give or take.

We’re all crazy elitists and know nothing about the problems immigrants cause. These years it’s pretty sweet to live in New York because the crime rate is down, but I am certain that more New Yorkers have been victims of violent crime at the hands of illegals over the past 40 years than in almost all other cities save Los Angeles and Miami.

We employ illegals so we don’t care. Actually, our babysitter has a green card.

We drink lattes. No, that’s Seattle.
