Webby, if you ain't already past the point of wantin' and firmly ensconced in the territory of doing, you're a tad bit tardy. “It makes you want to pray.”

You will come up blank. They seem to have been sudden bursts of uncontrolled emotion. It's like a deadline was looming and with no ideas, they had to do something. Hopefully, somewhere, someone is looking down on these guys and planning replacements. It makes you want to pray. Try to imagine the intelligent rationalization behind these decisions.

That's the legal way to do it. The farming states used to have guest worker programs that allowed Mexicans to cross the border and work legally during the season and then take their money and go home when it was done. That was done away with by clueless do-gooders who thought it was demeaning, with the result that we now have a runaway illegal alien problem that doesn't go home. As their numbers grow, so do the political demands for bilingualism (yes, point at Canada, that's a fine example, no?) and special consideration, and so does the crime rate. Crime statistics in our major Ohio cities shot up with the increased numbers of illegal aliens living ten and twenty to a house. Immigration is what built America, but why does that mean, to some people, lack of any control whatsoever on who enters the nation?

I'm getting a little sick of how objections to illegal immigration are being mischaracterized in order to brand people who want tighter immigration controls as racists.
