I keep saying I'm done with this then I get sucked back in. I think The Dad maybe right, but I guess in order to continue to post if I want to, I just have to make some suggestions as to solutions to the problem and I'm good to go. OK, I was just thinking, maybe make a degree of difficullty rating for any illegal immigrant who is caught. If he just climbed through a hole in a fence, hey, where's the creativity or danger in that, but if he built a human catapault and shot himself over the fence and landed unharmed in the US, well hey, I admire that kind of spunk. "OK, tell me again, you swam over, at night, in shark infested waters disguised in a seal outfit???? You are so in my brother, welcome to America."
Part of the reason this menagerie can't come up with a reasonable solution is because I don't imagine alot of us have any experience or background in writing international policy. To even fathom the volumes of intertwining solutions it would take to make that happen is incomprehensible to me, but I believe the lawmakers could do it if they put their minds to it.
While I don't condone the actions of illegal immigrants sneaking into the country, and I can understand, for example, how they or anyone who doesn't get health insurance and their abuse of the system ends up costing me money, but at the same time, I don't see that the guy who sneaks in, if he's not a criminal, just looking for something better for his family, probably won't ever have much better a quality of life than the one he crossed the border for, and isn't likely to be getting a top management job, or any job for that matter that isn't pretty near the bottom of the employment barrell and only because it was probably scoffed at by some out of work citizen who felt it was beneath him to do, how do I convince myself that illegal alien doesn't deserve to be given a break.
