illegal immigration

guys, come on. illegal immigration isn't about people stealing jobs from "hard-working" americans.

it's not about people "breaking the law--" law enforcement's perennial policy is to get enough
arrests (against criminals of any sort) to stay out of the hot seat.

why am i against illegal immigration? it's inhumane.

my friend eugenio worked at the china one buffet in corvallis, OR. the employers would pay them minimum wage and then demand that the employees return half of their wages in tax.

farm workers in oregon routinely work 14 hour days during the harvest (a period of several weeks with not days off) without seeing a dime of the (already employer-beneficial) state-mandated overtime.

illegal immigration is simply an excuse for business to abuse labor- practice a form of slavery, really- that we should have passed about 100 years ago.

but this wouldn't be a popular political argument, so no one will ever take the most common sense or humane approach.
