"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.

Over the last several years, in poll after poll after poll, about 70% of Americans consistently demonstrate a desire to stop the flood. I don't have the time or the inclination right now to start looking for specific links; you can do your own research.

And furthermore, most people are smart enough to know that to the regular people it's not a net economic benefit, it's a net economic drain. And that's not even take into account the cultural and quality of life issues.

You are the one who makes light of the deaths because you have no regard for the rule of law. Wouldnt it be nice if the rising crime rates and the costs of illegal immigration only harmed and taxed those who excuse it?
