ORIGINAL: SusanofO Owner59: I do realize there are many law-abiding legal immigrants in the U.S. And some illegals - except they're illegal. Hey, I didn't write the U.S. Immigration laws. They are what they are. I am aware of all of the arguments about how they help the economy, etc. I think they do help the economy, and I think that's the main reason the enforcement money and a serious method to deal with them just isn't happening (either someone should do that, or just raise the legal immigration quotas). That, and of course much of our tax money is being spent on our ill-fated war in Iraq. domiguy: I concede you do have a point, now that I consider what you said. But still, it's our tax money. But yes, prison is not a great way to live out one's days, for anyone, I imagine. I retract that statement. But I do think he needs to be in prison. - Susan True,their illegal status puts them on the moral low ground,but I believe that person to person,they are harder working,more peaceful and less prone to commit a violent crime,then US citizens.South and central Americans are more god fearing and reverent,then we are. It`s also a huge lie,that the government doesn`t want them here.Fact:the money wants them here.Ie,industry,corporate America,the US Chamber of Commerce,really rich people,and some politicians,from both parties,and the President. Fact:Illegal immigration would dry up,if business owners were thrown in jail,and businesses were confiscated,when caught hiring illegals.In a week,there would be no more "trabajos" for them to do. But that won`t happen,...the "money" wants loads of cheap labor,to use as a club against unions,and keep the price of labor low,by having more workers,then work. None of these moneyed interests want to give up the extra profits they get from this.They don`t care about the middle class,who has to deal with the down sides and costs.
