Thank you for sharing the other side of the argument.We have a problem.We are not addressing the problem.There has to be an answer somewhere between mass roundups and blanket amnesty.Your relatives were not living off of welfare because it wasn't available.That is one of the criticisms,another is using emergency rooms and getting free medical care,crowded schools and taxes not being paid into the school coffers.I see a problem that cannot really be solved until Mexico has a decent standard of living available through jobs.

If we need these workers ,and many economists say we do for our economy to grow,we must find a way to keep track and have them pay taxes.We must look at the longstanding law that if you are born here you are a citizen,as that complicates the "after three years go home" rule.

Unless you are a native Indian,we are all descendents of immigrants or immigrants.We have to make it more orderly and keep up with who is who.Ranchers along the border have a right to have their property protected from trespassers.

Your relatives should have been arrested and deported!

You should be fined for hiring illegals.

Don't ever go to Mexico and attempt to do any kind of work without a permit, which is extremely hard to get, because they will give you a prison term, deport you, and never allow you back into Mexico again!

Good morning sweetie. :-)

Use as needed throughout the day...

Here in Southern California LEGAL immigrant families are denied emergency rooms that are closing down, schools that are overcrowded and underfunded, and good jobs because ILLEGAL immigrants don't feel they have to obey our laws.

I didn't see ONE IOTA of concern for these people in your maudlin defense of "good people" who feel they don't have to get in line....

Very interesting....the only thing missing was violin music in the background....

Carlo, I finally broke the 235 plateau this morning. Between Adkins and Tae Kwon Do, the old bod is pulling together!

Thank you so much for your wonderful essay!

I generally stay away from all immigration related threads because of my own experience. Half of my family is Hispanic and I don't know, wouldn't ask, don't care if they are descendants of illegals or legals. All members of my family are spiritually minded, hard-working, patriotic and independent. IMHO, that is what matters.
