Hello experts:
Boy, I just don’t see how we can keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Now, I’m just an exconvict, but it seems to me that changing the immigration law would be easier, cheaper and infinitely more effective than building a fence.
Consider for a minute, that if our immigration policy worked, there would be more legal immigrants applying for jobs than illegal ones. Now, we don't have ANY legals applying for "those" kinds of jobs. So, instead of building a fence to keep them out, we should open our doors, and let in those who we want. I’m not too bright, but we do want dishwashers, don’t we?
Were we to do that, the dishwasher at your favorite restaurant wouldn’t have to worry about being busted by the INS. He wouldn’t have to worry about not paying taxes. He wouldn’t have to worry about armed vigilantes at the border. He wouldn’t have to worry about the people smugglers that he’d have to pay $1,000’s for the privilege of smothering in a trailer with 100’s of other people. He wouldn’t have to worry about dying in the dessert. He wouldn’t have to worry about unethical employers who run sweatshops because illegals can’t snitch.
The other advantage of a policy like that would be that the guys who are THEN illegally crossing the border are most likely terrorists - not a leafblowers.
