Whenever I hear this my blood turn cold. Do they really want this to happen in this country?

Do they want our police agencies to pull up in large latino neighborhoods and try to herd thousands into paddy wagons? It would not be pretty. There would be resistance and the police would be vastly out numbered.

Do they want to deport US citizens? Many immigrants have US born children with the same rights as the bigots who want them to "get out of my country".

They want to treat them as felons. Did these people get together and work up a plan to undermine the economy? No they came here to have a safer life for their children. There is no criminal intent there. If the legal way in was fair they would come here legally.

Who will mow your grass, mop your floors, build your exclusive housing developments, watch your children, wash your humvee, pave the road it rides on. change your diaper when you get old, and dig your grave when you die?

Who do they think will do all this rounding up if it ever happens? The police know that it would be as risky as taking away handguns in Texas. The army maybe? Many soldiers are latino and they will not capture grandmas and little children to be taken away.

To capture and detain 12 million people would cost billions. More than the Iraq war I would guess. But the human cost would be greater. Sending all of these people away with nothing but the clothes on their back would be similar to making thousands of indians walk to Oklahoma. What about the possessions they would be forced to leave behind? Seized by the government and resold would be my guess.

Now assume it has been done. There are 12 million pissed-off people on the other side of the border with no money, food, or a place to live. What happens then. Will they attempt to re enter in mass? Will our national guard have to repel them by force? Bet mr. conservative likes the thought of that.

I am a life long carpenter. The flood of cheap mexican labor has had a serious effect on my wages. But I do not blame them for coming here. If I could sneak into Canada and make 50 times the money I do now I would go. I blame the businesses who have made this a reality. I blame the insurance companies who have made it impossible to pay a working American a decent wage. In other words I blame the business community at large for this mess. Why not punish the greedheads who sold us out for a hand full of cash.If they cared about America so much why did they put so many out of work to hire these wage slaves with no rights and no say? I think that question answers itself.

500th post. Thank you all for putting up with me.
