[sarcasm] Our immigration laws are so racist and bigoted. We need to just welcome everyone with open arms, no matter what their intentions are. Now let's all hug. [/sarcasm]

I have a friend (who has other friends) who actually believe that.

That is what their belief is, and they are CONSTANTLY trying to explain that they're all 'good people looking to work hard and make a living'.

I've told him to fuck off more than once, and constantly show him stuff like this to prove him wrong.

I think the problem lies more in the enforcement of the law than actually making the law. This isn't something new that's happening, it's just media finding someone else to blame for the decline in humanity.

Kinda like how bush escaped the tyranny of Katrina by blaming illegal immigrants and gays for corruption so he could escape!...seriously...zoom zoom zoom~

wow its always racist right.

There are good ppl who wanna work hard, like the ones we hire.

Then there are the drug gangs, smugglers, robber, ect. that come here to hurt us.

If you dont live and work near mexico you have no idea.

Its a huge problem here and it needs attention.

If we find a way to let the good guys come over and work, we can pay more attention to the drug lords.

all im sayin.

There is a good way for only the good ones to come over though Kevin, it's called legal citizenship.

True the test is hard, true it is expensive, but it is a way, not a very good one mind you, to weed out the unwanted ones.

Instead, "the good ones" as you call them, are sneaking across the border in the same truck as the criminals. True they may not share the same morals or work ethics, but they share the same dreams, to come to America, no matter how they have to get here.

Do I think it's fair, no. I do however think stricter border security, more severe punishment to companies employing illegal immigrants, and less government assistance to them will hinder the mass exodus we have on our hands currently.

The penalty in SC for employing an illegal immigrant is $500 per illegal employee. That's it. If they were to change it to say... $5,000 per employee and 5 years loss of business license, how many companies or private businesses do you think would be jumping at the idea of cheaper labor?

If you aren't being part of the solution, you shouldn't bitch about the problem.

That's all I'm saying.
