"Show me serious respect for the law in everyday life, by most Americans, and I'll buy harsher punishments for people who are trying to take care of their families."

As if anyone here objects to people "trying to take care of their families." Nice slimy tactic.

Your right to take care of your family does include the right to break and enter my home, bury my street in garbage, or squat on my property.

Somebody breaks and enters your home, shoot him. I'll buy you replacement cartridges. People on the streets have a legal right to be there, and that isn't your home.

Not eveyone who comes here is trashing the place. You see a lot of citizens dropping their garbage all over the place. It sounds like maybe you would teach your children not to do stuff like that, but I've been working in a high school here in Oklahoma for most of the last five years, and most of the kids that attend there didn't learn that lesson. I'd suggest rock salt in shotshells for those.

As for squatters, show me where squatters are a problem, I'll show you how to find out how to get them evicted. Problem solved. Most illegals rent from flophouses, or stay with friends or people they know. If you own property that has illegals staying in or on it, someone is paying rent on it, and if not, you can have them evicted. Most places, if they exceed occupancy, or have restrictions on the rental contract, you can probably have them evicted anyway.

You might think on the fact that an illegal can make minimim wage, or less, and save money to send home to his family. They do have a different set of priorities from many Americans. It isn't a slimy tactic, it's the truth. Most third-world countries are crapholes, at best. The desert between Mexico and practically anyplace in Arizona, California, and New Mexico, is not a nice place for a stroll. The fact that people are willing to walk through that to try and get a job should tell you something about how bad it is in Mexico. You ARE objecting to people trying to take care of their families. Yes, there are better ways for them to do it, legally, but some people can't or won't wait. I don't blame them. Like I said, Mexico is mostly a craphole. If you're stuck in a toilet, you either shovel crap, or you leave.
