The war on illegal immigrants?
May. 16th, 2006 12:47 pmFundamentally I have a problem with the concept of illegal immigration. After all, pretty much all of us who are U.S. citizens are immigrants and did not have the permission of the previous denizens to come here either. Of course they probably arrived via a land bridge from Asia so they may have entered illegally too.
But ignoring that concept, the problem with the current approaches to illegal immigration is the same problem with a different war.
The War on DrugsTM

Should they be granted full citizenship? That's a thornier question. But expecting people who come here to work aren't going to come because we erect a few more fences is, once again, blaming the problem on someone else, not ourselves.
