Being cuban by birth, you are a different class, under current immigration laws, than people from Mexico.
I am in a border state. I agree with WV. This is a red herring that is being exploited to people who do not understand the reality of the circumstances surrounding the immigrants, in an attempt to shore up a failing political party.
This debate has nothing to do with addressed the cause of the immigration problems. It is only designed to raise an issue to take people's minds off the ever expanding size of government, the ever expanding size of the war, the incompetent President, etc.
Where will you find people to fill these jobs? Who is going to work the farms? Who is going to clean the houses, the offices, etc. Who is going to maintain the landscape? Who is going to build the houses?
If you are going to address immigration, you should first see why the immigrants want to come here, and why there are jobs available for them. Is it because the jobs are available here, because Americans do not want that work? Is it because their society has failed them, and the American dream is alive?
Are you going to throw the Churches in jail?
Are you going to throw the homeless shelters in jail?
Are you going to throw the teachers, the counselors, the advocates in jail because they are helping another human being who needs help.
Do unto others as you would do unto me
Anybody who shops at
WalMart really has no right to say I will pay a little bit extra for an American to pick that fruit, or have the lawn cut, or pay double for my house, etc, bercause your support of WalMart is, in actuality, support for a non-american to do tghe work that used to be performed by an American. The only difference is that WalMart uses an enemy to do the work, while in the states, immigrants do the work. I do not see the unemployed hightailing it to the border states to cut grass, etc. for the rate that immigrants receive.
