I have no problem at all with anyone of any nationality who wants to legally immigrate to my country.

I do have a problem, however, with illegal employers. Folks who will hire people illegally so they can pay them wages lower than market value. They lure people to risk life and limb crossing our border, and entice them to enter and work here illegally. Those employers should be dealt with harshly. They are creating a large problem here. They are depressing our economy by unfairly lowering wages (could I compete in any market if I didn't pay taxes, have to buy insurance, have to pass certifications? You bet I could. Heck, I could even compete better in the dog-eat-dog music world if I didn't have to pay taxes.) They are endangering the security of our country (by creating a climate that causes porous borders, at a time when there are folks around the world who dream of hurting us.) And, they are weakening our social systems (by enticing cheap labor, and not providing for health care as was done by employers for many decades, we now have a sizeable group of non-taxpaying folk who are using our social systems.)

I say go after the illegals...the illegal employers. The good folk who came here with the promise of tax free money to better their families will be only too happy to return to their homelands when they find the illegal employers are out of business. Any bad folk who slipped in, that's what you get when you do business unfairly, it's the illegal employers' responsiblity for them being here.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
