BULL$H*T!
Just do it.
BORDERS!
LANGUAGE!
CULTURE!
INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY!
"Those of us who dislike illegal immigration intensely need to accept this fact."
No. When the price of farming goes up, some smart engineer/inventor will produce machinery/equipment to bring the price back down. There is simply no reason to do so right now. why buy a new machine when you can get Mexicans for $20/day?
"GOP wants these voters and won't offend them"
What does it say about politicians who place votes above the law? Is that someone you feel comfortable voting for? I don't. Neither the Demonrats who sellout for welfare recipients nor the GOP who sellout for corporate profits look very appealing to me right now.
"Let's put it to a national vote"
That sounds like Democracy where mob rules. I'd prefer to work within the confines of our Republic, and elect Congress people who do what's best for us, not what's best for themselves.
"a potential illegal has to show evidence"
There are illegals here of every race, ethnicity, religion, and country of origin. Try something remotely reasonable. I am not willing to have every single Mexican stopped and searched for "papers". This is the "ends justify the means" approach, which is repulsive to me.
BTTT, Brian.
