Ping - we need to treat illegal aliens better.
Better? I don't see how we could treat them any better than we do now...unless we were to ship them all home with instructions on how to turn their own countries into economic engines rivalling the US...
Agreed
Please? May we?
Thank god we don't treat Mexicans like they do people coming from their southern border.
I hear they often shoot them down south. Where's the liberal la raza outcry concerning that?
It looks like Texas is really going to get tough. (/sarcasm) Rep. Luna of Corpus Christi has a bill in Austin that requires any person or business pay a 50 cent fee for every $100 wired From Texas to a foreign country. The fee will be capped at $5.00.
This will be more paper work than what it will be worth. It will be 0.005 percent. What a joke.
I forgot to mention that this money is supposed to go for indigent health care. It is a good idea but not enough money.
Sure, A/C and water bottles all the way home.
They get treated better here than in their own country, at our citizen's expense..
The problem we face is that a fifth column of illegals is firmly entrenched within our borders. Something as simple as taking control of those borders is controversial.
One cannot but wonder what will happen if Mexico ever becomes politically unstable. Will a tenth of Mexico's population migrate north, as happened last time they had a revolution? Today, the population of Mexico is 100,000,000.
I think we have made a problem for ourselves. Whether we have the political will to solve it is quite another question.
"Advocates call for better treatment of illegal immigrants"
Okay, let's give the a free taco along with their bus ticket back to Mexico.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!

It just seems so sensible and logical that the ACLU should go to Mexico to urge THEIR government to treat THEIR citizens better, like perhaps have actual democracy or something. They could change their name to the MCLU and we would be rid of them and the illegals. Everybody would be happy!
