> it is my understanding that Limbaugh is a guy that rudely declares that we should enforce border policies as written into regulations written by Congress? I'm somewhat conflicted in my thinking on border enforcement, and I do think it should, in general, exist, but that's far from the core and the tone of his argument, I think. He also declares that Mexicans in general are lazy (regardless of the legality of their status): https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rush-limbaugh-attacks-mexicans-immigrants_n_2593915?guccounter=1 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rush-limbaugh-attacks-mexican... and has a long history of racist comments: https://newsone.com/16051/top-10-racist-limbaugh-quotes/ https://newsone.com/16051/top-10-racist-limbaugh-quotes/ > I am somewhat afraid of [Muslim] "extremists" when I travel to Pakistan, or Qatar. My colleague did in fact come from a country where Muslim extremism was a thing. For your travels, I would certainly share your concern in Pakistan, but I don't really think there is an objective basis for it in the case of Qatar: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/terrorism-index https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/terrorism-index https://tradingeconomics.com/pakistan/terrorism-index https://tradingeconomics.com/pakistan/terrorism-index https://tradingeconomics.com/qatar/terrorism-index https://tradingeconomics.com/qatar/terrorism-index

Anyone that thinks Mexicans are lazy have never worked beside them. But, one size does not fit all. My anecdotes to that effect are surely not data. But my friends of Mexican descent (Americans) don't like uncontrolled migration because of the (perceived?) downward pressure on wages for unskilled labor. EDIT: That last point was also anecdotal. My gut feel (intuition) is largely driven by my experience. I do not claim that this experience is global or globally correct.
