Maybe I’m overreacting, but I was disturbed by a quote from the 2003 “Boy Genius” book about Rove (I saw a reference to it elsewhere and searched the book in Amazon): When W was governor, he apparently would say in private, “Hell, if they’ll walk across Big Bend, we want ‘em.” The “Big Bend,” of course, refers to the national park — a mountainous wasteland on the Rio Grande. Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but it suggests to me that the president thinks illegal immigrants are actually better than legal ones, even the guestworkers that he proposes bringing, because only the most crafty and hardy are able to outwit law enforcement and survive the trek across the desert.
