Alright, I apologize for the dip name calling. I have no idea how many nonviolent, non sexual predators that we have in US prison population. I do know that we have a much more accurate count on nonviolent offenders than we have on undocumented/overstaying aliens. It is offensive that anyone will call for paying free, non convicted US citizens substandard wages. And importing disadvantaged aliens to treat them the same. What happened to rehabilitating nonviolent offenders? You may not have it both ways. While you purchase your cheap Chinese plastic crap and rail against US prison labor, the hyprocacy is obvious. All the while you condemn me for advocating the US military overthrow of the Mexican government. Their people would reap immediate benefits, the least of which being humane emigration from Mexico. The only people that perceive a manual labor shortage are those that have never dealt with a callous, blister, or Plantars wart.

You have no idea what your accusing. I have worked plenty in the farms and had plenty of blisters, cuts and bruises for below minimum wage, so what? These are entry level jobs and we have a shortage of entry level workers. That is how many of us made it through college.

If you have a solution besides emptying the prisons I am all ears. The fact is there are labor intensive industries that need these workers and nobody wants to truly address that issue because it is too hard. It is much easier to say load up the cattle cars and ship them back then to really solve this problem.

You ready to ship back a family that has worked hard for 10 years and leads a clean life as a carpenter or roofer or on a farm simply because he crossed the border years ago?
