"Been around for a very long time" is one thing...epidemic is quite another.... we also use to burn trash in our backyards...but that is no rationalization for contiuing to do that ad infinitum.... this argument is so lame I go brain-dead..."we'll since we did it for years we can keep doing it forever..."....argggghhhhh!!!
I wasn't calling for a continuation of allowing illegal immigration. On the contrary, I've called for securing our borders and putting a stop to the practice of allowing illegals to pour across our borders. My post to the other FReeper was just to counter the idea that the problems with illegal immigration is a recent problem. I want the border secured and illegals stopped. But, I want a responsible approach to this problem, not an emotional knee-jerk approach.
