What part of ILLEGAL do liberals not understand?

We have an excellent legal immigration policy which millions of people have used to move to this country. Why must we tolerate ILLEGAL immigration?

[Frank Adams]

Not to stir the pot too much, but let's look at who really benefits from the immigrant problem.

1. Business owners who want CHEAP LABOR.
2. Business owners who want labor that CAN'T form unions.
3. Politicians who don't want low wage labor to VOTE, for the reason that, in general, lower wage workers vote D.
4. Politicians who don't want the immigrant problem to go away because it's a great way to "rally the base". These same pols don't want the abortion debate to go away. Both are great ways to raise money and rally the base.

I have a good friend who basically spouts all the Rush Limbaugh points on this. His feeling is ANYONE with skin darker than his should be stopped on the street and forced to show ID. He somehow thinks that it would be "easy" to round up 11,000,000 people. No ideas on how to identify the ones to round up.

Somehow he firmly believes that "hard working Americans" are lining up to cut lettuce, pick fruit and other such labor. This is a guy who won't mow his own lawn because "it's hot and hard work". I guess he also thinks that all business owners, particularly CORPORATE FARMS AND FOOD PROCESSORS are raging liberals.

Is there anyone on this site, or their kids or friends who would work the fields in AZ, process chickens in AL, TX, AR? It is difficult work and not highly rewarding.
