I have given up all hope that common sense and reason will make a comeback in this country.
All I hope to do now is live out my days in comfort and joy, removed from the nonsense that passes for "wisdom" in this land.
In that respect I am most fortunate.

I'd think the vast majority of Mexicans crossing the border into the USA dont scale high fences and walk miles through the desert but more than likely come legitimately by train,plane,bus,or private car, the illegality comes into play when they dont return to Mexico and in stead just stay in the USA.

You'd think wrong. I lived in New Mexico 35 miles north of the border and nightly we had people banging on my door. Border Patrol thought about stationing an agent at my place.

They had broken into my house, left the outside taps running which burnt out my well pump motor, polluted my stock tanks, ran off my horses after cutting my fences.

There is a legal way to come here, duh. Illegal aliens have done nothing to improve the lives of most Americans and in fact it is quite the opposite.

They've broken the law, that's harm right there.

According to the logic of the person quoted in the OP, putting locks on your doors is discriminatory...

The "logic" of liberals excapes me.
Uh this liberal is just as baffled as you are by this logic.

Stop blaming others for your failures.
In the meantime Hispanics are awaiting Obama's promise of immigration reform which he keeps putting on the back burner.

He's consistently done one thing his whole presidency & that is tell lie, after lie, after lie. Its sad it taken people almost 6 years for people to find out the real Obama.

Countdown to Nov 8, 2016 7:00 AM in San Bernardino

Can't come soon enough.
