You, like most on the thread see this issue as a immigration problem or an illegal immigration problem and it is not.

You and others can bitch and moan about immigration but the US doesn't have any options. You and others can bitch and moan about illegal immigrants but until the US sits down with Mexico and develops a worker entry program they will be crossing the border illegally and they will be preyed upon and the US and Mexico will suffer a loss of revenue because of it. This loss of revenue is large and growing.

BTW, have you Republic of Texas people kidnapped anyone lately?

[Republic of Texas]

Actually we need to do both. Keep all the illegals out, and find a way to screen and allow legal workers in, along with a way to keep track of them. However, none of this is possible if we don't protect our borders. We are being overrun, and soon there won't be enough people here who care about American cultures and values.

I haven't ever kidnapped anyone, but if the weather is bad this weekend, and I can't play golf, I guess I could, if you are up to it. Why do you want to be kidnapped?

If we want a guest worker program we can make one -----but we do not and should not have to sit down with Mexico. Mexico should have nothing at all to say about how we do it, how we run it. That corrupt government should have no jurisdiction or authority over the USA.
