I can eat a buncha lettuce...don't forget the shipping and handling costs too! All that expensive Diesel Fuel, reefer trucks etc.
Let's SEAL THE BORDERS, then we can stop the flow, then handle who is who and who's not supposed to be here etc.
This has become such an EMOTIONAL issue...and you can thank the Dems and the MEDIA for stirring it all up...just WHEN? did this get to be such a big deal after 20 years???
20 years? Try 60. I remember when I was a kid growing up in San Diego in the 60's, and there were always thousands of illegal Mexican immmigrants crossing the border and going to the CA central valley to pick the crops and take care of farm animals. Everybody knew they were just walking across the border in south San Diego county, and that was back during the Johnson Adminstration.
This problem has been building ever since the end of World War II and people around here are getting all excited like it's a problem created by Bush and blaming it on our current President. It's ridiculous; the difference is that today we have bloggers right near the border in souther AZ who post pictures of Mexicans hiking down trails after crossing over. So the current administration now has to engage in more honest debate about immigration and can no longer use the deception employed by every President from Truman through Clinton, all of whom have exagerrated greatly when saying that we're making a truly serious effort to guard the Mexican border in all areas. I think now we are going to get serious.
