Compassion, as if we who have common sense don't have compassion. Charity begins at home. Breaking the law and turning the other way on this immigration issue started with Bush. There is a legal way and an illegal way to immigrate to this country. As a group, I see so much to like about our neighbors from the south, but call a tamale a tamale.

As a group ............ the majority are prepared to do jobs that others in this country will not do, and they are prepared to work like dogs to give their children a better life. We have been fortunate to travel extensively, and I fully understand why people will do anything in their power to give their children a chance in life. A chance they are never, ever, going to get in their corrupt third world countries. Make them legal, give them an opportunity to work and pay taxes, rather than have the thousands we have now who are working under the table and are, therefore, unable to contribute to the economy. As with any situation of this nature, you cannot weed out those who are not good for the country and those who are - it's a crap shoot - you win some, you lose some.
I cannot remember where I read or heard it, but recently I saw that someone had said most of the food produced in this country is worked by these people, and a great deal of the construction in this country is done by these people.
And as for coming to this country legally --- I had work done by Irish stone workers in Boston who were illegal, they would come for six months and leave for six months, so they are not the only nationality slipping in and out of America illegally.
