Is it too much to ask that stories about Bob Rubin include the fact that he was the architect or facilitator of the deregulatory actions of the 1990s that helped cause the financial catastrophe? You know, dude pushed the most important pieces of regulatory law since the Great Depression (sorry, Dodd-Frank).
In other words, Rubin is one of the primary culprits of this crisis. Call him on it.

The Pew study has a number of interesting elements, but I worry it's being used to reinforce the fearmongering notion that hordes of pregnant women are coming to the U.S. to "drop" babies, as some put it.
Running the numbers from the story, about 4 million children of undocumented residents are U.S. citizens. Pew says more than 80% of their mothers had been in the country at least a year, and many more than a decade.
That gives a rough estimate of somewhat less than 800,000 children born to women who knew they were pregnant when they entered the U.S. outside the legal process.
That's 0.3% of the U.S. population. For that, we should change the Constitution?
