[51] Meanwhile, on the US-Mexico Border

I don't like doing political comics. I don't like reading them too much, either. I like to think that Stocks exists in its own little world where famous people hang out with each other all day long.

But this surge in anti-immigration laws in the US has just pissed me off. There is nothing this president has done that I've agreed with. There's nothing he's done that hasn't set this country back fifty years.

I hate the President, and all that he stands for. I hate the talking heads that support him, and I hate the people that voted for him because they think he did a good job in the wake of 9/11.

I hope this is the only political comic I do. But on Friday I remembered President Reagan in Germany saying, "Mr. President, tear down this wall." In light of recent weeks, it seemed very appropriate.
