We like nothing better than exposing hypocrisy. Remember when Larry Flynt paid to get the names of the mistresses of those Congressmen impeaching Clinton. That was awesome (if a little heavy handed). So, it's nice that this weekend the NYT trekked up to a anti-immigration Congressman's house to find, you guessed it, immigrants who illegally crossed the border doing his landscaping. Class act, Rep. Peter King. Maybe it's just the new immigrants that are the problem. They don't make 'em like they used to.
