More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. if one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. there's always the same amount of good and evil, too. we can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. and when evil moves, some good always goes with it. but we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. all we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. that's when things get scary. life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
Moving Good Luck Evil
The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. in opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. evil is arguable, but good is not. therefore the devil always wins the argument.
Character Winning Evil
So you think that money is the root of all evil? [...] have you ever asked what is the root of money? money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. money is made possible only by the men who produce. is this what you consider evil?
Money Men Thinking
The necessary consequence of man's right to life is his right to self-defense. in a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. all the reasons which make the initiation of physical force an evil, make the retaliatory use of physical force a moral imperative. if some "pacifist" society renounced the retaliatory use of force, it would be left helplessly at the mercy of the first thug who decided to be immoral. such a society would achieve the opposite of its intention: instead of abolishing evil, it would encourage and reward it.

We have to deal with reality. the reality is, we have a number a very high number of illegal immigrants in this country. they're meeting an important economic need. and we are a nation of laws, and we're a nation of immigrants. and if we're going to address the real threats, then we need to have a temporary worker program to allow our border patrol agents to focus on the criminals and the thugs and the terrorists and the traffickers and smugglers that are trying to come into this country illegally.
