I have to admit, that's a great point.
Having said that, I just can't abide people who come here illegally, for many reasons that can't just be overlooked.
I do think Bush is realistic about the situation, though a little too soft in some areas for me. Many people aren't realistic about it at all; they are running on pure emotion, which is something I just can't stand.
Apply for a job at Kraft in Littleton, MA, and be told you're 'over-qualified'. Say you'll wash floors, get the same answer. Then drive by and watch the shuttle bus from Lowell unload all the illegals hired at coolie wages. Read in the paper that cops raided one apt. house in Lowell to find 900 illegals and a fake US I.D. factory that would stand your hair on end. Check your credit and discover someone's stolen your I.D., try and get your life back after that! It's a nationwide problem. Local hospitals close because they're swamped with illegals, school systems overburdened.
This 'they only want to work' is nonsense. Mexico didn't want its native Indian class, the peasants. It's ethnic cleansing and it's wrong on any level. They figured out a way to dump them and get billions in return. What's not to like from Fox's point of view? We've been invaded. China refused to take back 68,000 illegal Chinese apprehended in the US. God knows where they are now, but you can be sure they're working hard and they won't show up in court anytime soon. (San Francisco has millions of illegal Asians, who 'only want to work'.)
Fox told Canada to take in his citizens, they're 'cheap labor'. How long before Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, Costa Rica, etc. do the same? Cheap labor, slight disruption of cultures, laws, sovereignty, national character. A few potholes along the road to the paradise of One Hemisphere, free trade, travel. And all this done illegally. My, my. Oh, well, Fox has said if we don't like matters we can 'invest in rebuilding Mexico's infrastructure so Mexicans will want to return home'. His very words. Sounds like extortion.
