If the widely publicized illegal immigrant demonstrations on Monday showed anything, it showed two very important facts: One, this country doesn’t have the stomach to address the illegal immigration issue the way it should, and, two, there must be a whole lot more illegal immigrants driving on our freeways than I thought because the trip to and from work was a piece of cake.

If we can’t count on the government coming to terms with building the fence, enforcing existing immigration laws or hammering scofflaw employers who hire illegals, can we at least hope for more large demonstrations so we can all drive to work at the posted speed limit like the good old days?
