    Do you have evidence of this? So the thousands who cross our border illegally just didn't have a ride?

    There is plenty of proof pf this. I am on my cell phone now, and can't post links, but I will later.

    But companies, farms, even the government hire foreign workers to come to the us to do jobs, harvest, etc. They can pay lower wages to those people, which keeps the cost of our food low, and also keeps our taxes low because the govt doesn't have to pay higher wages.

    The problem is, many of those jobs are sesaonal, so workers have to find other jobs, or go back to their country of origin. When they pay into social security, they should get those benefits. Why shouldn't they?

    I won't deny that people sneak across the border, but that is only one way people are here illegally. People can fly in, be brought here, and simply have their work visas expire, making them illegal. Many illegal immigrants are eastern european, llike polish, lithuanian, russian, etc. Many mexicans come here during harvest season, legally, to pick crops, then go back to mexico for their harvest, or find jobs in the offseason. Those legal people live here, work, and have families. If their visas expire, they become illegal, but have children who are legal.

    There are plenty of stories of people who are forced to leave their families because their paperwork was not up to date.

    I'm sorry that incident hapenned to your colleague. Its a teribble situation. I just hate when people generalize, and think the only answer to that problem is to build a big electric fence to keep the illegalls out. There are too many sides to consider to think that simmply "border patrol" will fix the probs.

    While this isn't as grand as illegally coming into a country, if you answer "yes" to any of those questions, you too are guilty of trying to choose what laws you should follow or not follow.


    And if I were caught I'd expect to be punished. I wouldn't go demanding the laws change because I didn't feel like following them. It goes back to the old saying if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

    Go make demands from any other country on this Earth if you aren't a citizen and are there illegally, see where it gets you.
