There’s a sad story in today’s Metro section, about New Jersey brothers who aren’t speaking to each other because they disagree about illegal immigration. Bryan Lonegan has long been an attorney representing people with immigration problems. His brother, Steve, has long been a very conservative businessman and politician. The brothers could deal with that. But when Steve, currently the mayor of Bogota, NJ, hopped on the anti-illegal immigration bandwagon – an issue that Bryan finds opportunistic at best – his brother objected.

Before, his conservatism was his business. Now he’s on my turf.

Shades of Antigone.
