You folks who call mexican border crossers criminals, I want you to just imagine that instead of being born here, you were born in Mexico. Now, you can stay where you're at, making 2-3 dollars a DAY or you can go pick lettuce and fruit for 5-6 bucks an hour and send money for your family back home so they can make a life for themselves.
Remember, as americans, we were all born with a veritable solver spoon in hour mouths.
If you can honestly say you wouldn't cross a fence to provide food for your children, then you aren't fit to live on my planet. Please exit now.

Bush has done the right thing. They are here now, and at least this way they don't have to deal with the Coyotes bringing them over in unventilated trucks.

Sorry Nathan, I can't agree with you. Crossing illegally is a violation of law and those who hire illegals under the table are comitting a felony.
I am no stranger to poverty--been there/done that and never took a dime from the government. NOPE. I worked nights at a Dunkin Donuts for $1.50 an hour plus tips (mid 70's) because I couldn't afford day care for my son. So I stayed home during the day, kept a decent house (that I owned) and worked nights to pay for groceries.
I did what I had to do for my family and I broke no laws, took no handouts and stole from no one.
My great grandparents came here legally.
The Mexican Gov't needs to do something about THEIR poverty problem instead of exporting it to our doorstep.
The coyote situation is Vicente Fox's problem...not ours..those are HIS people dying in poorly ventilated transports. He doesn't care does he?
