I really shouldn't have to explain my posts, but I feel it was warranted.
Very few illegals here are doing farm work - supposedly the one job Americans won't do - according to the pro-open borders advocates.

It would be nice if they cracked down that way in Oregon, since many cities along I-5 are safehavens for MS13 members while in transit with sex slave and illegal narcotic traffiking.

Oregon is ultra liberal, though, so it is not exactly a priority here. Besides, we would have no prison space to house that kind of worthless human garbage anyway.

I bet these places like Utah, Washington and Kansas never thought they would have to deal with illegal immigration.

Average cost to the US taxpayer is about $61/per day in Utah (2008 data) or roughly $22K/per year to house each illegal. What Utah should do is chop their feet off and deport them immediately...much cheaper for the taxpayer, and I'll bet those illegals won't be back again!

I picked up a small magazine at a VT farmers market and one article was about a few VT farmers who couldn't find enough local labor, so they started bringing in illegals.

One thing I enjoyed about going to VT was NOT hearing Spanish in the stores or bilingual signs.

Guess they never heard of the farm worker visa - they just had NO CHOICE but to use illegals - mhmmmmm
