Replying to a message of DAVE DRUM to ROSS CASSELL:

 RC>> So let the illegals come in and siphon away funds from
 RC>> social programs meant for legal citizens, such as you?

 DD> Nope ... you're attacking the wrong end of the problem.

 DD> Don't just give a smack of a hand, SEVERELY PUNISH any
 DD> greedy bastard who provides sub-wage jobs that an American
 DD> wouldn't consider but that attracts illegal immigration.

Note that if all the illegals working in the meatpacking business were
deported tomorrow, by the end of the week meat would be so expensive
(and unavailable) most people couldn't afford it.  I remember thinking
hamburger was overpriced at $0.55/pound, it's over $2/pound now.

Fault the American consumer that refuses to pay the prices required to support
"good jobs at good wages" in this country.

 DD> Then do something to help improve the conditions of Mexico
 DD> so people would do what they would rather do and that's
 DD> stay home with their families. Do you really think they
 DD> want to struggle trying to cross the border?

Since the problem has been going on for well over half a century, yes.
