But I think they are fooling themselves. There's no doubt that anti illegal sentiment has been around to some degree for a long time, but never to the point that legal immigration was stopped. To some extent it's human nature to prefer people who are more like you. You even see hatred between different immigrant groups who have to compete for the same jobs. The rivalry between the Irish and Italians in NYC in the early 1900s is well-known. Of course, their kids went to the same Catholic schools and became friends and even married each other and that rivalry disappeared in one generation. In any case, it is possible to be against illegal immigration and not be anti-immigrant. I'm all in favor of legal immigration. Of course, a nation has to be in control of its borders and decidel how many immigrants are allowed in and where they come from.

Putting people in jail for using drugs is idiotic. They should legalize all drugs and immediately release all the people in prison for possession of drugs, or possession with intent to sell, as long as there were no extraneous circumstances like gun possession or resisting arrest.

That's why they're here. Exactly, if it was impossible for them to work here they'd stay home. Why would they make the trip for nothing.

If you do, what's the distinction between shoot on sight and Bert's scenario? -Greg

What you don't understand is that it's impossible to work where they came from. That's why they're here. ================================= Ah....victim speak. Employing them certainly isn't America's responsibility -Greg |
