You are absolutely correct. I've been monitoring this thread now since it went up and I have read every post.
Something that strikes me is that about 80% of the posts agree that illegal immigration is a problem...but we are still arguing with each other.
It's like my teenage son and I...we'll argue until the cows come home and realize, in the end, that we were both on the same side of the issue.
It really looks like that's what's happening here.
