Well, I can tell you a lot of shit that isn't fair in this country, but that is just the way things are and there really isn't a whole lot you can do about it. For example, is it fair that someone who gets busted for a stash of pot spends more time in prison than a child molester? No, of course not... But what can you do about it?

There are always going to be illegals coming to this country, so we just have to look at the positive aspect of it I guess.

Yea....i agree...but there's a difference between coming across the border to get a better life by doing hard work, and coming acorss the border in a van that has 800Lbs of Cheeba

Either way i don't agree with it. I think we should just work harder to keep them out

Well then what we need to do is establish some kind of temporary working documentation for people that want to come across the border and work (and I don't mean green cards, I mean much more temporary, like 30 days at a time). And employers can hire these workers but once their docs expire for that month, they need to check in with INS and make sure they are staying out of trouble to get it renewed. In order for this to work, the law needs to come down hard on businesses employing workers with expired docs, and there should be random inspections of facilities and their worker's docs.

With this system in place, since it would be so much easier for the honest border crossers to come across and get work, it would be a stronger argument that people crossing the border while trying to evade the agents are attempting to do something illegal, and we would be able to come down on them a lot harder.

Just my thoughts.

It's not that no one else would, it's that a legal immigrant or US citizen would, by law, be paid 5.75/hr to do it. And many companies think that's too expensive.

Question at hand is if they come over illegally what makes you think they would go through a legal process in attempting to find work?

I love how we turn on our own defenders to bend over backwards to be politically correct. This country is so politically paranoid that we have crippled ourselves into a corner. What kind of message does this send to our police and Border patrol? Do you job, go to jail?
