    As U.S. immigration policy changes rapidly, is it fair that undocumented workers face the law without representation?

    In the past month I’ve read loads of Greek classics. It was a really depressing month filled with people killing their kids, kids killing their parents, people marrying their parents, people stabbing other people in their eyes or at least stabbing themselves in their eyes.
