I go to visit mama in FLA this week and look what I miss. Tens of thousands of protesters against illegal immigration legislation…

Hello? Hello?

Where was the massive INS sting to swoop down and deport these people? OK, you’d have to be stupid to be I-L-L-E-G-A-L AND show up for a protest. It was only the people helping the illegals who were protesting…

So where was the massive INS sting to swoop down, illegally detain and interview all these people who are helping illegals?

Its I-L-L-E-G-A-L. Politicians who fall prey to immigration groups need to be enlightened to the fact they work for the legal immigrants and citizens.

It is time to close the border (Im not opposed to razor wire and mine fields), and put every person in the US on notice that if they are not properly documented to be in this country, they will be identified and escorted to their country of origin. I would not make that process pretty, either. Orange jumpsuits, ankle and wrist chains, long non-airconditioned bus trips to nowhere and back (just to make the process not worth risking again).

Politicians are afraid of the “bad rap”, losing the latino and asian vote, and the real cost to both the economy (cheap labor) and direct cost of deportation. Dont be fooled by the ethnicity, either, europeans make a large segment of the illegals as well – former soviet bloc, and mainland europe “send” plenty of un- or under-employed as well.

At a minimum every non-US citizen should be documented. If this means a carrot (i.e., temporary visa – say 1 year) and the institution of a “migrant labor law” for non-citizens to receive temporary visas to work within the US and receive very limited rights – labor law and drivers licenses. I would not allow entire families to relocate with workers – if you want a job you can leave your family at home.

Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses – but do it legally.
