I understand that immigration is a HOT topic @ this time. Immigration reform will come about when the demand for undocumented workers is non existent. It is basic econimics @ this point. The demand for undocumented workers is high so therefore the supply of them is higher. Once we stop depending on cheap labor that is wxploited then we can have a positive immigration reform. Some counties in Arkansas have passed 287g. May families that are documented are leaving the area due to the officers ability to racial profile.Maybe the leasont o be learned here is not DEPORT them all. Maybe we should be tolerant of the people who want to come and make better lives for themselves and families. Maybe we need to step back and look at our fears and hatred of diversity and put those to rest. Humanity needs to be a part of our thoughts
My heart goes out to ANYONE caught in a "mess" that was not of their making. I feel personal sympathy for many illegals and can't help but like most of the ones I know. Still, illegal immigration is against the laws of this nation. "Cheap Labor" isn't good for ANY country's residents. Mexico would suffer much, if it were flooded by Bolivians willing to work "cheap". Mexico doesn't allow this--not because they "hate Bolivians", but because it would harm their economy.
There is a large demand in this nation for cocaine. That doesn't mean we condone it, or allow it, or speak out in favor of drug-trafficking. It harms our society, and to people who WANT cocaine, and promote its use, we as a society say, "Too bad--your wanting cocaine doesn't make it legal, or acceptable. Either 'drop' your relationship with cocaine, or plan on going to jail"...
As I have stated here, most Americans have very erroneous ideas and assumptions about immigration. The importance of this issue is often overblown and over-exaggerated. I have done a lot of independent research on the economical impact of immigration (Economists make no distinction between illegal or legal immigration) and the results could not be further from what most Americans believe. If anybody here is interested in educating themselves on the subject, I am posting a link to a study conducted by the CATO Institute. The CATO Institute is by no means a "liberal" organization. The Cato Institute is a think tank based in Washington, DC often seen as a standard-bearer of the U.S. conservative political agenda. This deals in particular with the fiscal impact of immigration reform. The findings prove everything I have posted here about the true economical impact of immigration and it also supports my theory that most Americans are not educated on the subject.
When the radicals are faced with facts like this one they turn around so that they don't get the facts, they are to trmain ignorant...
Did you even read what he wrote?
