Our old pal, Rep. James Sensenbrenner, on Face the Nation yesterday:

“…we shouldn’t be very sympathetic to employers who are hiring large numbers of illegal immigrants and paying them very low wages and exploiting them. Those folks are the 21st-century slave masters, and what they’re doing is just as immoral as what the 19th-century slave masters did that we had to fight a civil war to get rid of.”

How astonishingly ignorant.
