She is a child of immigrants.
Let's talk a little about immigration. My paternal grand parents are immigrants from Canada, my maternal great grand parents are immigrants from Germany. It would be hypocritical of me to ever be against immigration.
Thankfully, I am not against immigration. I am against illegal immigration. However, I am not against the twelve million illegal immigrants who work hard and, except for some document fraud, play by the rules. Indeed, most pay their taxes. These people have helped America by providing cheap labor. Quite frankly, I am tired of them hiding in the shadows, afraid to report abuses by their so called employers.
That's right, my solution is quite simple. Amnesty and more immigration that is easier for the immigrant. If you are a Mexican citizen, you should be able to cross the border freely.
Now, I'm not crazy. I know that making the border just a line on a map has grave security concerns. However, if all a person needs to do to get into America is spend a day or so for his or her papers to clear, it kind of makes the prospect of crossing sixty miles of open desert or paying $5,000 to a Coyote pretty damn ludicrous.
If decent people can easily cross the border, the border patrol will free up enormous resources to protect the border against baddies.
Of course, my solution is simple, allows the marketplace to dictate immigration, will save billions of dollars, and will never, ever be implemented.
Judas in pinstripes, why are our lawmakers spending months talking about a line on a map?!
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

You could do what we do in Oz. Lock em all up in seedy hell hole prisons. We don't discriminate. Man, woman,child, they all get chucked in. It's a human rights abomination.

the problem with your solution, is everything. i'm not anti immigration either, however, most of these people DO NOT pay their taxes. because the majority of them work cash jobs. there is a fair portion who use forged illegal docs and thus have fake SSN's... so the employers pay the taxes. anyhow, the fact that the majority don't, and also use our medical system which it's federal law that if you come into the ER they have to treat you. which they're not paying for. THIS is why it's a strain. they need to implement a guest worker program, force the illegals to pay a fine. amnesty just breeds more illegals. the guest worker pass becomes the first step to naturalized citizenship. however, BEFORE this can happen, there needs to be a large, TELEVISED and grand scale crack down on employers. i mean pulling fuckin walmart board members out by their feet, in shackles, raiding mom and pop places, large conglomerate farms, and construction sites. deport the aliens and tell them they are welcome back if they file for a guest worker pass, and then prosecute all the people you arrested under the patriot act. non documented aliens are a potential terrorist threat, and not to be treated lightly. that's the public face you put on it. you use a disinformation campaign to make every person who hires illegals think they're gonna be arrested. and do a big fuckin wide spread crack down. once you stop the employers from allowing them temporarily, you create an invoronment of fear, in which the migrant workers will be forced to file for the guest worker pass. once we have them paying taxes, and working towards citizenship and the mexican gov't thinks that no one will hire illegals, then shit runs smoothe. but, since reagan granted amnesty, this is why we are where we are. it's a shitty way to be. but we're here. we can absorb the population no problem. but they need to be going about the right way. and one of the ways, is to learn the language also. but, that's my two cents... end rant.
