Sorry, but the analogy fits. Illegal aliens are not the same as legal immigrants. They all come from foreign lands, but the former are interlopers and thieves, while the latter are here with permission. Again, most recognize the difference.

Apparently, the fleeing Hispanics perceive themselves as criminals. Those with a legal presence have no reason to fear the law. Of course, many are here legally, but have illegal aliens in the household. So, it’s understandable that they would also leave. Too bad they aren’t leaving the country, rather than simply moving to another state. I hope they don’t move to Maryland.

Grrrrrr.....I can't stand Scary Clown. What were the people of this state thinking? I mean, I know that Meg Whitman wasn't that great of an alternative, but is there nobody left in this state that remembers the first time he nearly destroyed it?
