I always love reading Thomas Sowell's writings. I can't recall ever disagreeing with him.

The illegal aliens and the criminals who hire them and the criminals who harbor them are getting out in the street making their desires known. It is way past time those of us who support the rule of law and secure borders did the same.

Join Veterans for Secure Borders, The Minuteman Project, Latino Americans for Immigration Reform, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens, and other groups protesting amnesty for these criminals, and demanding the government protect our borders.

FReepers should be at this rally in strength. Saturday, May 6, in Crawford, TX.

Do American citizens go around carrying documents with them when they work or apply for work? Most Americans are undocumented workers but they are not illegal immigrants. There is a difference.

The Bush administration is pushing a program to legalize "guest workers." But what is a guest? Someone you have invited. People who force their way into your home without your permission are called gate crashers.

Funny/sad stuff Mr. Sowell. Bush should call his immigration reform the Gate Crasher program. I like it.

The problem has simply gotten so big that we can't or won't or don't want to deal with it. I say give them guest status and then control them. Guest status will require them to register so we can then keep tract of them.

Thanks, good post as always is Dr. Sowell. I'm afraid we're only going to get word play again out of our politicians as he alluded to in the past.

The mark of a scholar. Well written, well thought out.

The quiet voice of reason.

Perhaps this will give you another persepective to consider.

I have a question for fans of Sowell. One of my twin daughters is majoring in economics. She loves it! I'd like to get her a Thomas Sowell book. Does anyone here have a favorite? (I haven't read any of his books - just his opinion pieces.)

Today Rush called Mexico an ally......

Does an ally send 500,000 criminals to your country every year?

Does an ally use the money sent back by those 500,000 to cover up its economic faliures?

Does an ally openly encourage more and more of its criminals to violate its allies laws?

Does an ally fail to extradite murderers back to the US?

Does an ally.....you get the point. When we started saying things like there are to many of them I gues theres nothing we can do we have already surrendered any soverignty we had.

Its time to send them all back or burn the constitution. It is all or nothing.

I've only read one, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals." I found it fascinating, but there wasn't much economics in it.

Frist seems to be the only only one with some sense in DC recently....close the border and then we can deal with the illegals allready here.

I lived a Guantanamo Bay, Cuba years ago as a Naval Dependent. The Cubans came in busses every day to work on the base and then they went home. We had control of the border!

"The problem has simply gotten so big that we can't or won't or don't want to deal with it."

If we don't want to deal with the problem no amount of semantic gymnastics such as "guest status" will have any effect. The problem will only fester and grow.

Guest status will require them to register so we can then keep tract of them.

They are already required to register for alot of things (like a visa).

Guest worker status has absolutly no incentive that is not already in place to make them register except for claiming that its now "above board".

Problem is, there is more disincetives to the program than incentives.

We have totally reversed the process where we tell legal immigrants they are screwed and tell illegals they are welcome, then turn around and complain whats happening?
