Missouri town unmoved by presidential hopefuls’ stances on immigration

WEBSTER GROVES, Mo. – On the porch of an 85-year-old fixer-upper, Chris Mund is mulling a carpentry problem with his childhood buddy, Nick Gartelos. They’re stuck and frustrated. But when the conversation turns to presidential politics and illegal immigration, the exasperation really pours out.
They worry about porous borders, but GOP candidates’ fervor against illegal immigration doesn’t resonate with them. Nor does the Democrats’ relative silence on the issue.
“America needs the labor. And both parties know that. You’re not going to pick lettuce,” Mr. Mund tells his pal.”*
