Illegal Immigration
DrewKaree:
The focus is on the ILLEGAL part of the description.

I know it's from Fox, but you'll just have to get over it, or find your own stinking links. ::)

I live in LA and I teach in the inner city, many of my students are probably illegal and filling my VERY expensive special ed classrooms. I love these children and give them everything I've got on a daily basis, but it sucks when you can't go to half the city you live in because your spanish isn't good enough. It is a problem that should be addressed but there isn't a solution involving the supply side of a problem.
This is a supply and demand issue. There is a supply of cheap labor in rural Mexico.
There is a demand for cheap here (well under the LEGAL minimmun wage)
End demand and end supply. Simple
From the supply side there is always going to be someone who will fill it, wheather it's a drug dealer, or a prostitute. Supply will always show up. If someone has an example of a problem soved by attacking supply I'd like to hear it.
Illegal Immigration is an easy problem to solve. In fact Reagan gave us the solution back in 80's. The solution had 2 parts:
1. Leagalize those who were already here
and like it or not that happened
2. Anyone hiring Illegal immigrants would be subject to a major fine and could have HALF of their assets siezed.
NEVER HAPPENED not once
No jobs = why come

Thank goodness that Bush has a plan to stop illegal immigration -- by making it legal!
What's up with that anyways? Do the republicans have any real principles? Certainly not principles relating to the sanctity of marriage (Schiavo case). Not related to making government smaller or less intrusive. And on and on.
What do the republicans really stand for anyways?

I find it astonishing that you see that case as a sanctity of marriage issue. It might do you well to do some more reading into it. While it probably won't change your views, at least you'd understand the concept behind why the case is important, and it certainly isn't because of a sanctity of marriage point.
