Here in tiny Bruceton Mills — one of the least Hispanic towns in the union’s least Hispanic state, which hosts a Democratic primary today — the subject of illegal immigration has become a hot topic.
“It’s a terrible problem,” said James Britton, who owns Things ‘n Stuff, a combo restaurant-gift shop-hardware store in Bruceton Mills, which according to the U.S. Census has no Hispanic residents.
Britton, a Republican, remains a big fan of Fred Thompson and his anti-immigration sentiments. This fall, he said, he’ll reluctantly vote for John McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, whose support for legalization of illegal immigrants rankles many locals.”*
