Culero, you can do both. Start punishing employers AND increase border security. snip
You're missing my point, and I fear its because you don't want to face it.
I also want to get exactly where you do - that we don't have a flood of illegal immigrants.
My point is that if we clean up
OUR OWN HOUSE (by eliminating the illegal jobs at their source) we'll have already gone a long way toward drying up the flow of illegal immigrants. What part of "If there's no jobs they won't have a reason to come" do you not understand?
Why are you so keen to spend money on border security when it simply wouldn't be necessary if we fixed things here?
Look at it this way - you have rats in your house. They are there because you're filthy in your housekeeping, and leave food sources out in the open all over.
Do you spend huge sums on traps and poison, all the while leaving all that food out to entice them to keep coming?
Or do you solve the problem sensibly by cleaning your damn house, plus a little bit of rodent control?
I think what's at play here is people who resent people of other cultures so much they want to blame them for everything, punish them for everything, and ignore everything else that's a factor.
Shades of Kristallnacht. Sig Heil!
