The immigration "crisis" in generational terms. Whenever you read about some politician proposing or instituting laws to crack down on illegal immigrants, you can be sure he or she is a middle aged Boomer, such as the mayor of this Pennsylvania town. And who can blame him for enacting such a harsh law, if he has crack dealers and gang shoot-outs plaguing his town? Though who have to wonder about a mentality that gloats that business is down 75% in Mexican restaurants. The ones bearing the brunt of these laws will be Gen-X opportunists, both the criminally minded illegals and the nicer sorts who are really doing the community a favor by moving in and boosting the economy. And the ones who speak out in protest tend to be the young Millennials, as they suffer the most familial disruption, having grown up with the status quo that was friendlier to their family's way of life.
