"Can you wrap your head around the idea that a LOT of very intelligent, very patriotic people know that our immigration situation is a mess and still think this law is worse than the situation it's trying to fix?"

       I believe there are intelligent people who think that way. I also think they are very misinformed. They haven't got to a supermarket, for instance, and been told to "go back to Europe." And they really don't understand the concept of the Nation of Aztlan.
