Hey look! Touhy's talking about something not Lightfoot related! :D
Okay,cheap shot.
Just playing T.
Anyway,the Govt. needs to crack down is not a new thought. Illeagals have been coming here for who knows how long. Not just from Mexico but other countries too.
The difference though is that Mexican illeagals get treated far worse than say people from Asia,Europe and so forth. If being illeagal is such a crime,then they should arrest them as well as Mexican nationals. I of course know that arresting anyone for this is not the answer to th problem.
The answer has always lied in just re-organizing how immigration works for people from Mexico but make it count for those of other countries as well.
If people from south of the border could simply become citizens without having to wait an eternity for it,then I think trying sneak over the border would lessen.
It really should only take a few months to make a clear decision on letting someone be a citizen and to have them take the standard test and pledge. Until any of that happens,our country will have this problem for years or even decades to come.
Especially when you consider the hypocrisy of hiring illeagls but up until the possibilty of the new immigration law,no one really gave it a thought or cared. Now everyone's yelling & screaming about it. Why? We all knew that employers hired illeagals,so why maske an issue of it now?
To me it's just the Bush administration throwing up a smoke scren to the real issues,that has now back-fired on them. That's why I feel in this case those workers have every right to be mad.
They're not criminals (except for those who truly are),they just want a better life and America has always said,"We're the greatest country on Earth.
Gee,can't believe someone called us on that!
Later!
