This is just so wrong. What's wrong with these people? Still feel for illegally immigrants after reading this? So not only do they sneak in illegal, they risk the life of their children by paying someone to sneak them illegally (with the possibility of being abandon) across the border. Some even "dope" them up to keep them quiet.

Bumping for the morning crowd.

We need immigration reform NOW. The good thing is that the WH and the Democrats aren't really too far apart so we may actually get something relatively quickly after January.

Hopefully they'll get something done. IMO, the wall is a start. But we need harsher penalties for those that aid illegal immigrants and the illegal immigrants themselves.

I'm more interested in punishing those who exploit them. If there were no business looking to hire cheap labor rather than paying legal citizens a living wage-we wouldn't have this problem.

Makes you wonder about the misery of the lives they are escaping. Charade, do you feel the same way about all of the Cubans over the years who have risked their children's lives in rickety boats and such, but who (if they make it to American soil) are welcomed as legal immigrants?
