Ediberto Roman, Those Damned Immigrants: America's Hysteria over Undocumented Immigration, with a Foreword by Michael A. Olivas (New York: New York University Press, 2013) ("What will be undertaken in the forthcoming pages is more than merely engaging in retelling tales of woe. In terms of an overview of what is forthcoming, and perhaps at the risk of oversimplifying this herculean endeavor, this project aims to undertake and achieve what no single work has yet accomplished. It attempts, in one document, to first identify the leading attacks against undocumented immigrants; then, using empirical data, it will examine the validity of those attack, demonstrating how such attacks are far from new in this country's history; subsequently, it will establish how such attacks have shaped policy in the past and will likely shape policy in the future unless exposed. Finally, this project will propose a means to resolve the current immigration stalemate." Id. at 8.).

I know what's legal, not what's right. And I'll stick to what legal.... I'm not God. The currents and eddies of right and wrong, which you find such plain-sailing, I can't navigate. I'm no voyager. But in the thickets of the law, oh there I'm a forester.... What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?... And when the last law was down, and the Devil was turned round on you--where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?... This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast--Man's laws, not God's--and if you cut them down...d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?... Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.'" Id. at 146-147.).
