Sob story

Good grief. In an MSNBC/Elkhart Truth tearjerker, we read in the first four paragraphs about how hard the recession is on Angel Rodriguez. Finally, in the fifth paragraph, they get around to telling us what we'd already begun to suspect:

"Us illegals, we don't have unemployment," said Rodriguez, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico City. "If I had unemployment, I wouldn't have had to give up the trailer."

The story notes that those "undocumented immigrants" are "particularly vulnerable" because, without "proper documentation." they can't access "government benefits." Some of them are even considering the unthinkable, going back to Mexico. But, get this:

But there's a catch to consider. With tightening border security and the increasing difficulty of making a clandestine crossing from Mexico into the United States, a return south of the border may not be easy to reverse should things improve.

How many more sob stories like this are we going to have to endure in the run-up to President Obama's plan for amnesty comprehensive immigration reform, which will be 3,000 pages long and introduced at 2 p.m. on the day he says it has to be done by 5 p.m. to avert a catasrophe of unimainable magnitude?
