The law only appeals to you when it's working against the people you don't like

Crime Scene KC posts this glorious headline that should put a lot of you "law and order" types on edge concerning your simplistic understanding of how a society works: KS appeals court: Illegal immigrants aren't necessarily criminals . . . Of course this decision could take years of legal wrangling to sort out and by then maybe the many towns in Kansas (like Wichita and KCK) that are turning predominately Hispanic might have some new questions. On other hand . . . Over the past few years (from what I've seen) it hasn't been laws or even crackdown efforts that have stemmed the tide of immigration but it's been mostly the rampant anti-immigrant sentiment that has been documented in keeping more Mexicans at home then usual or at least making them feel even more uncomfortable as people with almost no legal recourse in this society . . . Not that I care much, but what I've seen is that this this same backlash works against Latinos who are citizens as well and that's usually where discriminatory laws and hate groups that hassle Latinos become completely unacceptable and simply part of the legacy of racism that continues to haunt the U.S . . .
