His boy-toy was Mexican. I love the Freudian psychology behind all this crap. It is usually those that are so against something, do it. Why take a hard stance on immigration when your...

Ana Jimenez and her husband were so terrified of being sent back to their native Mexico when Alabama’s tough crackdown on illegal immigrants took effect that they fled more than 2,000 miles to Los Angeles, cramming into a two-bedroom apartment with more than 20 other relatives.
