    this issue

    Whenever I go on one of my tirades against granting amnesty, many of my friends and collegues give me a shrug or a blank stare, as if to say "with all the problems this country faces, what's the big deal..."

    The big deal is exactly what Glenn states here, that we essentially have a "stop and rob" legislative convenience store for rich companies.

    That would be a major nail in the coffin of our democracy.

    Keep up the good work, Glenn
