The Immigration Debate on Acid

In watching some average Joe’s youtube commentary on the Senate’s defeat of the immigration bill, I was not surprised by the person’s lack of rigorous and cogent analysis. I was surprised by the person choosing to visually alter his personage in such a way as to make himself look like the lovechild of David Blaine and Albert Einstein. Try to pay attention to the substance of the video (what little there is), rather than staring in wonder into the artificially green eyes of the vaguely menacing man.
As for the substance, I do agree with the man that opponents of the immigration bill tend to be simplistic in their proposed “solutions”. But one should be reticent to accuse others of simplicity when offering a 44 second commentary on a 600+ piece of legislation.
