Marry Marry Quite Contrary

“Mr. Allred, a recruiter at a trucking company, does not like people who enter the country illegally. He believes they are ‘an army of takers,’ filling spots in emergency rooms and schools that American citizens have to pay for. He does not like President Trump, either, but one of the reasons he voted for him last year was that it seemed as though he would actually take action on immigration. ‘We don’t have an industrial base anymore,’ Mr. Allred told me over dinner at his apartment in Bentonville. ‘We have trillions in national debt. It’s impossible. We can’t take on millions more people. It’s financially not possible.’ But something has happened in Mr. Allred’s life that is bumping up against this view. He finally met, and married, the love of his life. And his wife is in the country illegally.” NYT (Gift Article): Against Illegal Immigration, but Married to Someone Here Illegally.
