maintain our homes, who take care of our kids, who still make time for sex with dad.

I'm talking of course about our nannies.

Now, lost in this whole immigration debate is why Americans want to be so harsh on the

people who in so many and varied ways enable them to sit on their fat asses.

Nannies, valet, parkers, gardeners, housekeepers, pool boys, car washers, house painters, and

handymen, all the people who do the things, we're a little too busy or important to do.

Why set our crosshairs on the humble servile people?

Well, I'll tell you why, because we're bullies.
