Who will pick our cotton?

Charles C.W. Cooke: "Karen Bass’s Astonishing Line"
I’ll close with a question. Those of us who favor a secure border, an orderly immigration system, and the swift deportation of illegal aliens are often told that this view must be motivated by animus. In particular, we are accused of wishing to remove those who came here without permission because we believe that they are in some sense “second-class.” But is that not, in fact, a perfect description of the approach of Karen Bass, who apparently envisions a city in which some of the jobs are done by her friends at a minimum of $30 per hour plus benefits, and the rest are taken care of by the faceless “immigrant labor,” which does not deserve to benefit from such rules, and cannot?
To be fair, Karen Bass isn't the brightest bulb.
