It is particularly a problem in the border states. A good friend of mine had his own identity stolen after a car accident with an illegal, and it caused all manner of headaches. Once you've had your ID stolen, it's difficult to recov... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Dr. Jones/23 Sat, 13 May 2006 12:05:06 Life wasn't easy growing up in Sam's tiny impoverished town. Food was tough to come by, and his tin shack of a home was way too tiny for his wife and six children.

Sam had read the stories of how some of his people discovered a land of riches, a land where hard work paid off in the form of a ste... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Dr. Jones/22 Wed, 10 May 2006 11:26:48 In recent days, some here on DU have likened illegals to civil rights activists. But can this comparison really be made? Consider the following comparisons made by fellow DU'ers:

I personally think law enforcement of those who are in our country illegally is a good thing. Even better though would be if law enforcement went af... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Dr. Jones/20 Sat, 06 May 2006 15:37:11 I'm getting sick and tired of seeing American companies get away with hiring illegal labor, outsourcing our jobs, and insourcing cheaper labor from other countries.

I'm tired of hearing about man... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Dr. Jones/19 Fri, 05 May 2006 11:55:50 Some here on DU have taken the position that our borders should be completely open.

Well-spoken, smart, and very knowledgeable about how our government works. A killer debater. A man who seeks after truth and justice.
