Porter commented on the article |You are entirely correct on all three points. However, how the law is written and how and in what manner it is enforced, is an animal of a different color.
You know, before 9/11, before some used the terror card to push their agendas, we didn't have a problem.
The folks from Mexico came, and they went AS they were needed. Before 1962, we didn't have border controls with Mexico, everything worked well for everybody.
During Semana Santa, and the Christmas season, millions returned to Mexico as they always had, and returned in January and February to drudge jobs they'd left. The system worked.
After 9/11, the whack jobs looked south and saw a terrorist behind every bush, a disease bearing sub human in every brown face they saw. And they used the fear caused by 9/11 to push their hateful agenda.
The rhetoric today is no different from when I was growing up and it was directed against Blacks. Or at the turn of the 20th Century when the Irish were made to be outcasts. Same scenario, different period in time.
And you know, most of those that would object to any kind of immigration reform or those who wouldn't know an illegal if they saw one, and whose lives or not effected negatively in any way by their presence in this country
