Haven't we went over the immigration issue several times already in the
past. Frankly I think we have alot more pressing concerns then Mexican Border Control. Like Civil War in Iraq and an out of control US government to mention only two.

I mean come on.....

1. No , not yet...
there are those here that are paid to keep these flames fanned...and then there are those that just do it for fun.

But both types answer to the same master.

4. I would trade 100 million mexican immigrants for a decent president
a balanced congress and budget and our military out of EVERY corner of the world.

6. They don't need a demon to fight...
They need a demon to keep US fighting.

A maybe not-so-subtle distinction, but an important one.

8. It's a matter of emphasis...
I think most think that something needs to be done...it's just a matter of how to accomplish it. FOr my part, emphasizing punitive measures on the immigrants themselves is the wrong way to go. In my mind they are the victims here. The system by which they are exploited is what needs to be addressed.
