...caucuses: turnout is minuscule. Because of inconvenient scheduling (on a school night and opposite the Orange Bowl this year) and arcane rules for voting, candidates can look like giant killers here with about as many votes as it takes to be elected to the Fresno school board. In this dreamland of the unknown and underfunded, Huckabee has built his following 10 and 20 voters at a time...

Undocumented workers are portrayed in ways that indicate their “American” values and are forced to drop their own flags for that of an adopted patria. “America” is depicted as a dreamland, practically paved with gold, while the average undocumented immigrants slave away, heartbroken after separation from their family and surroundings. Even the eyes of the most prosperous immigrants light up at the mention of their homeland, which has been left behind as they stay in the U.S. for the comforts they...
