The Ugly Side of Illegal Immigration (The Classicist Podcast)

Victor Davis Hanson has that rare blend of academic gravitas and down-to-earth pragmatism, being the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, classics and military historian, and a farmer who resides in Fresno, California, a town in Central California midway between Bakersfield and Sacramento, which...well, enough said. 

I particularly appreciate Professor Hanson's perspective on immigration since he speaks as one who is impacted personally by the policies and politics of the open borders segment of the political left. He is literally looking out his window and describing what he sees as he talks about illegal immigration, and it's not a pretty picture.
