PP have you ever been to a third world country????

Daniel, do you think Mexico can do anything to provide better jobs for these people in their own country? Can Mexico do better than what it has so that these people don't have to come here to feed themselves? If so, are we enabling their bad government by winking at this illegal immigration issue?

That last time I looked at my map, we don't border with the Phillipines....that was a silly post.

Daniel, sigh, why do you use such rhetoric? I am not bloodthirsty. Do you realize how that sounds?

It's called a Logical Fallacy of an appeal to emotion or an argument based on emotion. It happens quite often and all it does is serve to divide Americans rather than address the issues with facts and open and honest dialogue

I wasn't arguing geography. Should we allow them to flood us with cheap labor? You have a problem with that? Are you saying illegal immigration is OK as long as it is a bordering nation?

But because we have an influx of cheap labor those employers higher illegals and a lower wage

The MRS told me to inform you that this is the second time you misused the word....it is hire not higher.....

First throw your rock of objections and criticism at the apostles for breaking out of jail and the Holy Spirit for being their accomplice, then we'll discuss this further....

Not at all. But do you deny that there is a huge influx of illegals from Mexico more than any other nation?

Would anyone here mind if the millions and millions of Illegals in this nation were MOSTLY from the phillipines and not Mexico?
WashingtonPost

Based on Census Bureau and other government data, the Pew Hispanic Center, a private research group in Washington, estimated the number of undocumented immigrants at 10.3 million as of last March, an increase of 23 percent from the 8.4 million estimate in 2000. More than 50 percent of that growth was attributable to Mexican nationals living illegally in the United States, the report said

CNN

The proportion of the illegal immigrants who are Mexican has increased to nearly 70 percent from less than 60 percent, the INS said.

The question is, why is there such an increase? Are they more poor over there each year?

What has changed, if anything?

Huh? The Apostles were criminals according to the law. So why are you avoiding my question? Illegals are criminals according to OUR laws.
