You're like the Energizer bunny cheerleader for illegals - you just keep rooting and rooting and rooting...

"Blessed are the illegals for without them we could do nothing"

Dang, you hit it right on the head.

I don't condone the violation of federal laws by people who hire illegals. But at the same time I don't live in fear of undocumented laborers who are providing essential goods and services without which our economy could not continue to grow.

I simply recognize the economic reality that our policy makers have to work with.

Rounding up eleven million people and kicking them out of the country is not a real option in today's political and cultural climate.

Did you see the reaction of FReepers to the thread a coup[le days ago about the Canadian couple separated from their 15 year old daughter because they were not allowed to return to the U.S.? Imagine the heart wrenching pictures and stories of 11 million people being uprooted and dislocated. It would rival the relocation horrors of Russia and China.

Sealing our borders is no a real option. It would be impossible. The only realistic solutions involve some type of guest worker program.
