Yep.

I think a lot of people would be a bit taken aback by having no fruits or vegetables in their supermarkets in the winter. And every hotel in the country shutting down.

Our society as we know it wouldn't function without illegals.

I was listening to a radio show where they were talking about the terrorists. Virtually every terrorist they profiled was born in Saudi Arabia but the vast majority of those were Yemeni Citizens. The hosts wondered how that could be since anyone born in America is an American Citizen.

The answer is simple they are the offspring of the vast number of guest workers that Saudi Arabia uses for the menial jobs that Saudi Arabians won't do. Can you imagine the feeling that these people must have seeing the opulence around them as they grew up, hearing their parents bemoan the hard labor, while being born in a country where they will never even be second class citizens?

These non-entities are a fertile recruiting ground for the Terrorist leaders who point their anger away from their Saudi masters toward the developed world. The Saudi Government has to be complicit in this since they need the labor to keep their opulent economy running but don't want the disaffected bombing the royal palaces.

Bringing in a permanent underclass to perform odious tasks has been a mistake since the time of the Romans.

Really? How many MILLIONS does it take to work those fields? Guess the hundreds/thousands on street corners and welfare in the southwest haven't heard about the job openings. Maybe we should advertise.

I disagree. We do NOT need illegal alien labor. The cost to society in the long run is *far* greater from millions of illegals, than the immediate small increases in prices we would incur were we serious about keeping them out of the country.
