One spent his time in this country exploiting poor immigrants for their money and the political system for its weakness. The other spent his time attempting to serve, assist, and defend those same immigrants. Our country will probably keep the real criminal and exploiter and deport the defender. It just does not make sense to me. We do indeed need to overhaul our immigration laws and policies when lieing on a form is a more heinous crime than that of bribing government officials.
I guess the problem is attempting to see some logic in such a contrast of actions. There just probably is none.
