That’s sick. Anyone who would risk their life crossing a desert to come work in this country makes a d@mn site better American than the many indolent ungrateful slobs who enjoy each unemployment extention and eagerly await the advent of free healthcare merely because they had the blessing to be born here.

That sounds like a man that has not lived with, drank with, and worked with illegals. Have you ever frequented illegal bars with your illegal friends and seen what that culture is really like? It is deadly brutal, and knife based.

Crossing deserts to get past our laws, casually living in a world of forged documents and escaping detection by the tax system and policemen, lying to employers, that isn't noble stuff, that is the lifestyle of the least noble.

You are talking about people with a very casual attitude about morality and decency and the laws.

No I've just seen em slaving their scrawny burnt asses away on roof tops, in the fields and packed 15 sweat soaked men into a broken down Astro minivan. And I know they send billions of dollars back home to their families that they never get to see, love and enjoy, in Mexico and Honduras and other God forsaken places. They live in a hell of exploitation right here in the middle of our garden of Eden of opportunity.
