Is that me David or the other "one"

I'll try a different angle. No I don't think we should just let anyone move to America. My main point is the issue is far more complex than "they're illegal, screw'em, it's all their fault". Enforcing our borders and immigration laws is not racist. Wanting to try and solve the problem by making them felons, trying to cut of any medical assistance or education is racist. Just going after those with little to no power isn't going to solve the problem. Improving working conditions, wages and benefits for all workers in America, finding ways to deal with American corporations who outsource jobs, hire illegal immigrants and temps so the can increase already bloated profits and shareholder profits would be my preference. We need corporate reform far more than we need immigration reform.

I'm rambling more than normal, need more caffeine . . . and on another note . . . my BU CD will be mailed this weekend . . .
