“- Из человека только тогда толк выйдет, когда он свое место знает... Я вот знаю свое место... Был подручным, потом слесарем, теперь в мастера вышел. Почему, скажем, я вышел, а другой не вышел? А потому, что он тары да бары. Работать ему, видишь, не нравится, он инженеру завидует. Ему бы сразу. Тебе, скажем, чего в школе не сиделось? Учился бы тихо на доктора или там на техника. Так нет вот... дай помудрю. От лени все это. А по-моему, раз уж человек определился к какому делу, должен он стараться дальше продвинуться. Потихоньку, полегоньку, глядишь - и вышел в люди. (Дядя Бориса Горикова - Николай Егорович Дубряков - Борису)”

“However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”

“[...] the "explosion" of Mexicans crossing the border without permission was entirely predictable. It was the inevitable consequence of of policies that slashed opportunities to migrate legally without addressing the forces pushing and pulling people across the line. People who had lived their lives across two countries legally and peacefully for decades were suddenly redefined as invaders and threats. The "Illegal immigrant" was thus invented in Washington, D.C., conjured out of contradiction.”

“The immigration debate in America today is not really about immigration. Nor is it about national security, the economy or the vagaries of our outdated asylum system. Like much else in our civic life, the immigration debate is mostly a proxy for domestic policies and the culture wars. It just happens to a particularly potent proxy because it tends to elicit strong feelings about the American dream, ethnic identity, class and nationhood. That is to say, immigration is an issue that’s ripe for exploitation and cooption by both the Left and the Right. Each side can easily condemn the other without ever getting down to debating actual US policy on its merits. This is one reason why we still have an immigration system that dates from 1965.
