Basically, 100+ people crowded in to a boat built for 15 people and risked trying to cross who know how many miles of open Pacific in a bid to reach the United States. The boat sank and it looks like only 7 of the 120 survived.

So, why not allow more legal immigration into the States ?

this country was founded on immigration when there was a need for immigration.

a recent poll conducted in Mexico found that 50% of Mexicans would move to the USA if they could and 1 in 4 would do so illegally if they could. and that is just Mexico. 1 country.

Are you going to happily let your entire city become a ghetto as you allow millions more people into the country than the system can absorb? or did you think that a bunch of people previously living on 5$ a day are going to show up with 2.5 million each to buy a nice house and car and invest a little and brighten up the neighborhood?

i actually just got home a few hours ago from a trip down to San Diego and Los Angeles. i found myself thinking quite a bit while trying to learn spanish to use a bathroom at Texaco, that if they deported all illegals, we would probably be paying 20.00 for a carrot or head of lettuce and that farms would just collapse.

the sensible solution i would guess would to create a better system of giving work permits/visas to those who are coming across and working anyway... legal or not and then police those who have visas and shoot arrest/deport those who don't.

Production should always be placed where it gives the best ROI... if 3rd world countires can produce food at the same quality, but at a lower cost, then let them. Only national farmers are getting fatter when we are not allowing real competition.
