To say that such-and-such a circumstance is ‘Kafkaesque’ is to admit to the denigration of an imagination that has burned a hole in what we take to be modernism – even in what we take to be the ordinary fabric and intent of language.

What happens is, illegal immigrants can run across the border, drop a baby, and say, ‘Ha-ha, there’s nothing you can do now. My kid’s an American citizen.’ Well, that wasn’t the intent of the 14th Amendment. Americans would not agree with that. It creates a horrible incentive.
