Also, the real answer to the problem, IMO, would be if Mexico got it's own economic house in order.
Yes, I agree. If Mexico improved its situation there for its own citizens and workers, then they wouldn't need to sneak into the U.S.
Not that I think Mexico should turn into one big factory and ruin their countryside. But there must be ways...surely someone who is better with details than I can figure this out!
My problem with Chris Cannon is more basic than the “Issue” that is being discussed. It goes to rule of law, are they here illegally, or not? If they are lawbreakers, then enforce the law. IF we want more “Migrant workers from Mexico” then make it legal. Just don’t break the law, and tell me it’s the right thing to do. All I am asking is that we do what we say, is that too hard?
On the other hand, Matt Throckmorton ( http://www.matt4utah.com/ ) (Google, thanks Dane :-) seems to be a conservative on things other than Illegal Immigration, but I’ll have to do more research… But let me ask this, where in the Constitution did it mention schools, and exactly how long did we get along with out federalizing the schools?
