I am going to ask you too . What part of illegal isn't understandable? I have no problem with immigration but the illegal part is a real problem. Those people broke our laws to come here. It really doesn't matter if they are contributing or not. He!! a drug dealer could argue that he contributes to society. In fact a lot of the illegal Mexicans came here with the tacit approval of their government. They send an awful lot of money back to Mexico to the detriment of our country while bringing in moneys that help the Mexican economy. Why do you think Mexico's Fox wrote the manual on how to come across to this country? There have been wars fought over less my friends. This is for all intents and purposes an invasion approved by the Mexican government. You think what I say is extreme?? Seriously think about it. Those illegals are in some cases a real drag on our economy. I also saw the illegals in Md get turned loose after being repeatedly caught driving without a license, uninsured and illegally tagged vehicles. You would have been jailed for the same infractions. We cannot afford the illegals any longer no matter what work they do. PBR even in what I consider convoluted thinking is right about a living wage....and illegals just make it easier for companies to not have to pay a living wage. I still say seal the border and collect up all the illegals and send them back to where they came...or even better seal the border and put them all on the other side and let Mexico have to deal with them. That country helped them get here in some cases.
And yes, that does make me mad. It should do the same for y'all, too! I have compassion for those people...but I have more for the people that are citizens of this country...especially the ones who came here LEGALLY!
Middle ground?? I feel we passed the middle ground long ago!
