Re: Illegal Alien Thread
I'm not for opening our borders and allowing anyone who wishes to cross unchecked. However, those immigrants who are already here, working, taking care of their families, etc., who aren't threatening their communities in any way, or being lazy and feeding off the state--I don't believe that rounding them all up and plopping them in jail or sending them home is the right answer.
IMO, the borders should be tightened up, but those who are living here peacefully already should be given legal status so they can be counted and so they have to pay taxes.
