Ben, I agree with much of what you said. There is indoubtedly a dynamic like that at play. Yes, there are facts out there, and yes those facts can be used to support what we want to.
Ben, is it against the law for foreign nationals to cross over our border and swarm into our nation?
Is it against the law for them to work here?
Is it against the law for our businesses to employ them?
Is it costing us untold billions to provide healthcare to these people?
Is it costing us untold billions to educate their children?
You know what the answers to these questions are. You know that you don't have a leg to stand on, when it comes to defending what has taken place.
I appreciate the fact that you say there are reports out there that paint a nice picture, one more favorable to what you would like to see take place. Ben, you know as well as I do that no matter what it paints, it is against the law.
In the end, the support for illegality winds up in the same category as a thirteen year old child trying to justify doing something they were not allowed to do.
As adults, we have to accept that there are laws, and abide by them. No amount of rationalizing, can change what the core facts are.
Thanks for the comments Ben. I wish we could agree on this one. Take care.
Got it?
