Do you buy products that are grown/made/sold with the assistance of illegal immigrant labor? If so, then they aren't the only one to blame.

Your argument is inane. First of all, the strawberries and other stuff we buy don't have labels on them that say "these strawberries were picked by certified legal American citizens".

And yes, I would rather pay more for my strawberries in the supermarket and save the tax money it costs to educate, feed, and many cases incarcerate the border jumpers. So would about 70% percent of Americans.

I am curious to know where you get the "70%" statistic. Please cite your source.

So basically, you agree with my point? It's hypocritical for people who benefit from illegal immigration labor to complain about problems caused by illegal immigration? Likewise, it's cruel and unjust to be so inhumane to their plight and suffering when our country actively attracts them here by failing to enforce immigration laws?

We do almost nothing to stop immigration. We do not punish businesses who employ illegal immigrants. We do not arrest and deport illegal immigrants. We benefit from their presence. Given those facts, I think it's wrong to complain about them being here, and I also think it's wrong for people to make light of their problems like this article and many of the cruel and insensitive comments in response.
