And it isn't 6 million people. It's the same 1 million people 6 times before they finally succeed on the 7th try in eluding the BP.
This past weekend I talked to recent arrivals. From what they say, it is still quite easy to just walk accross the bridge. Only the stupid go thru the desert.
Maybe the stupid have scruples about renting somebody else's ID which is necessary to "just walk accross the bridge". It can't be the money. Rental fees are much cheaper than hiring a coyote.
My goal is frankly to get people to deal with this issue honestly. All sides tend to use euphemisms lousy facts and illogic to bolster their argument.
Right now, an illegal alien is NOT A CRIMINAL. That is the fact. A "criminal" is by definition, a felon. Right now crossing illegally is akin to a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. When the speed limit was 55 MPH all of us were "illegals". Rather than arrest all of us, the law was changed and we were all given "amnesty".
Factually, it is no different with illegal immigrants. The whole purpose of HR4437 is precisely to change the law to make criminal what is not now criminal. To give amnesty is factually no different than not enforcing jaywalking ... or speeding.
For those of us who still speed when we get caught we can complain to the cop why he didn't stop the other speeders. But that is not an excuse. And factually, the other speeders are not speeders in the eyes of the law, until they are caught.... And then of course there is the "innocent til proven guilty thing". But that is taking the analogy too far.
