Illegal Immigrants. Now just immigrants.

[QUOTE="commonfate"]

So all the illegal immigrants have registered social security numbers and are now taxpayers?

Say what you want about illegal Mexicans, but they are hard workers. Harder than most Americans. Just look at the agricultural situation in Georgia. They drop the new immigration law to scare away the mexicans and it worked, now theres nobody there to do the work. Governor Deal tried to use parolees to make up for the labor shortage and they couldn't finish one truck at one farm compared to the Mexicans, who usually finish 4-5 trucks in the same amount of time.

I'm down with the illegals and hope they can come out of the shadows one day and be respected like all of the other Americans who "earned" there way to becoming a citizen by plopping out of there mommys pouch inside the border.

There are some very educated Mexicans that become illegal immigrants by choice because a crappy job here is still better than their situation in Mexico. I know a guy from Mexico who was a lawyer, but extreme corruption in their justice system pissed him off so much he decided to become a "border hopper" Through hard work he's now an assistant grocery manager (not sure how he managed to dodge the law by getting this job, but more power to him) at a very well known grocery chain making $50,000 a year. Not much, but yeah...making more than what he was as a lawyer in Mexico. LOL.

So by your logic, the law should be meaningless.

Funny how people like to pick and choose which laws should be enforced. I'm sure you'd be singing a very different tune about the law if somebody did something bad to you.

The law should be redone. I understand that until that happens it has to be enforced. I also understand that I'll be supporting realistic immigration reform in the future if we get some leaders with sense in Washington.GrindingAxe

I agree that the law should be redone and immigration should be stream-lined. I am, however, of the mind that people should own up to their crimes. There has to be some sort of punishment for breaking the law in the first place. Otherwise what the f*** is the point in having ANY law?

I'm not talking about jail-time, or anything crazy like that, but fines or wage garnishments and automatically to the back of the line of the immigration process. I don't think that's unreasonable at all.
