Forget drugs or fraud. The most common type of case federal prosecutors bring is against illegal immigrants who try to reenter the country after having been ousted — and almost all of those charged are Hispanic.

What is going on with the Democrats? The party is no more. Or, at least it's no longer made up of actual Democrats. Not even Nancy Pelosi can keep her party in line.
