Re: Looks like no one knows how bad it is along the border BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 26/04/2010 03:58:37 PM
Live close to the Mexican border and then weigh in on the issue. Illegal immigration is a HUGE problem. Undocumented workers are only making the unemployment problem bigger. Oh, and just a little tiny note, the drug cartels involved in the drug trade from Mexico are INSANE! (By the way, people who dabble in "recreational" drugs, do you know you are furthering the slaughter of thousands of people every year?)

I doubt the "undocumented workers" are taking away many jobs from uh Merkins and certainly are filling many that would go unfilled.

The solution to the drug cartel problem has already been proposed here - legalize and regulate.

the "overrunning" of culture and language is exaggerated, imo - 26/04/2010 04:34:56 PM 988 Views
