Just who is the “elephant in the room” regrding the “illegal” immigration situation? I present you the United States Chamber of Commerce. With their political, behind the scenes, power we can expect a major battle in weaning their members off the narcotic of cheap, exploitable labor. E-Verify is the closest thing we have to “methadone” for these folks, but they have to admit first that they are addicts. Not going to be easy.

Has anyone in this blog been outside The US? Let’s say Central and South America. How about Africa? or Asia. Does anyone care to Know where and by whom most of the products sold in America are made? HOw about the working condition and the wages being paid outside the US borders? My point is, I love The US. I believe is the Greatest country in the World. However, Looking back in history,from a moral point of view, I have a hard time being proud of it. America has thieve by exploiting smaller economies. Sometimes by imposing government onto other, or in the form of ” free trade agreements”. Your message is clear, and it makes sense, illegal immigration is wrong. So, lets demand to our Government to enforce all the laws in existence but at the same time, demand to all the corporations that provide us with food,clothing, cars, electronics and others goods, to whatever country they operate, they must respect the dignity of their employees by paying livable wages, respecting and protecting their environment. Let’s all help to eliminate illegal immigration from poor countries by demanding to our Leaders the implementation of American working standards for corporation doing business abroad. After all, I’m sure we would not mind paying $15 for a single pair of socks or $20 for a gallon of gasoline or $100 for a large pizza.

Having worked in construction for the past 28 years I can tell you one thing for sure, the
guys I worked with from Costa Rica, Mexico, Vietnam etc. that are here legally were really
pissed at the illegals that worked on the same projects. Several reasons for this.
Number one was, they played by the rules and got in the country legally, but got grouped
into the suspicion of being illegal. It was a huge deal for them. Two: they had family
members that wanted jobs that illegals were taking and they didn’t appreciate that either.

The point is that there are many people that are willing to go through the process to work
here legally given the chance. We need to enforce the laws we have so they get that chance.
Make it inhospitable for those that don’t want to follow the law. The vacuum will be filled
by those that will.

I wish all of you literary types would learn the difference between immigration, a legal process, and trespassing, an illegal process.

If you enter our country legally, that’s immigration.

If you sneak over the border illegally, that’s trespassing.

Everybody got that?

Keep up the great work Mark. The myths are being debunked and every day, more and more citizens realize they have been sold a bill of goods. Sold to them by a liberal media who seek to create sensational headlines full of exaggerations & portraying the plight of those whose condition is of their own making. In addition, there are politicians involved who are expecting new voters for their political parties (they will capitalize on this once amnesty is granted & tell the newly legalized they “owe” them. Too bad the newly legalized would then only begin to be exploited all over again by legal processes! Add to this greedy employers expecting to make excess profits by exploiting the vulnerable who should not be here to be exploited! Worse is those same greedy employers will discard the newly legalized, recruit more illegals to replace them, and all we will have done is artificially drive up our unemployment rate!

the place to start would be to cut any federal funding to sanctuary states and make the leaders serve time in joe arpios jail. then arrest companys’ that hire illegals. the only way to let people know that were serious about illegals is to hit them in the wallet.

uburoisc: I love your notation about Socrates, “Incidentally, how many languages did Socrates speak?” Indeed, Greeks of his time considered their language to be the only civilized language and had a descriptive word for the sounds of other languages, which they considered inferior: barbaroi, or barbarian. In addition, all of Asian Minor down to Egypt used Greek as the language of culture, thought and commerce. Ancient Greece was a culture that was not ashamed of itself, unlike modern America, which runs from asserting itself better than those overrunning it from the South.

Someone should come down to my town on a fri or sat and “document” the Illegals driving up to Advance Auto in their nice cars they don’t have a license to drive or title of ownership for, pulling out one $100. bill after another to buy parts for these cars. They call them Migrant Workers here but they never migrate away. I wish they’d put the screws on the businesses that hire them here and send them all packing.
