So as long as certain ILLEGAL behavior is good for American businesses, we should look the other way and not enforce the law, right? Maybe we should encourage rape and murder, because it helps keep the police, courtroom workers, and prison guards employed?

Maybe we should do two things: think what we want to accomplish with this law, and ask if our goals are being met, and if they are not, OVERHAUL IT. I'm pointing out that NEITHER of our goals are being met at the moment: you are not living in your monocultural paradise, and I don't have a way to keep businesses going that employ people who need jobs. In addition, I'm suggesting that your goal, expel all the illegals, is an example of the kind of protection we would achieve if we mined our own harbors. We'd be safe from attack: well and good. But I'd also be safe from coffee, which I need to get going in the morning. Can we instead discuss ways to either protect local industry without mining the harbor or solve the citizenship and assimilation problem another way?

Several people seem to think that because I would like to find a way to use those whose only crime is crossing the border, I'd keep those who had committed all kinds of other crimes. Not a good idea. But deporting them means two things: that we have a controllable guestworker program and border enforcement. The control of the guestworker program would help your request: so would the border enforcement. Whether that means that all illegals would become "guestworkers" or how the shift would occur is what legislative action is for. But don't take away my coffee, OK? You wouldn't like to drive near me if you did.

笑っちゃう!! HA HA!! Haven't lived in one those since I left high school for boot camp!

Coffee is imported, legally.

It's not about YOUR coffee. And if you drove poorly you'd get a ticket, which would be good because it keeps the traffic cops employed, right?
