If you make it impossible for them to work and get any type of
benefits, they'll go home on their own.

All drugs should be legal.

Synthetic heroin, known as methadone , is distributed free to
"patients" on methadone maintenance programs.

You do realize that you are making an argument for keeping illegal
immagration for the sole purpose of keeping prices low to ensure your
current standard of living. That is extremely selfish of you.

I advocated nothing. I described policies implicitly supported by your
your own party. I personally think the whole situation is ridiculous.
You true believers are being taken advantage of. The Republicans, like
the Democrats, are sponsored by big agriculture and by many other large
industries who are depended on this practically unlimited pool of cheap
labor. They are absolutely not going to allow the source of their
profits to be kicked out.
