Our law protects equally the rich and the powerful as it does the poor and the underprivileged against vagrancy, begging, public nuisance and petty theft.

My head almost exploded the other day when I heard Holy Cross-educated Chris Mathews use "irregardless" on his MSNBC show, "Hardball." It almost explodes every time I hear an ebonic-influenced "disrespect" or "myself" as in my friend and "myself." |

Spencer Hsu of the Washington Post takes a front-page look at enforcement against businesses caught hiring unauthorized workers, concluding that the number of criminal prosecutions against employers and supervisors is up, but that barely a dent has been made in the overall immigration mess: |
