Sanctuary

I just read this outstanding NYT article on 'sanctuary cities' - places in which public officials (rightly, IMHO) do not count it among their duties to sniff out and apprehend undocumented immigrants. Among the items it touches on are:

• presidential politics (Mitt vs. Rudy)
  
• male vs. female labor (undocumented immigrants mowing the lawn = ok; the same providing child care = not ok)
• public health and safety
• demographic shifts
  
• sci-fi movies.
  

Plenty of other immigration news out there too...including a Catch-22 story from work. More later.
