No, the criminals that come across the "open" US/Mexico border as the migrant workers do. They can stay in Mexico for all I care, but I don't see any problem with contributing people from becoming Americans.
Let President Fox deal with them rather than expecting America to. He's one of the biggest problems with this issue.
Also, the Minuetmen are serving American intereset in a non-violent way. Start to worry when the ignorant amoungst our citizens see them get attacked, and the violence will surley begin. Drug runners and coyotes should be snipped off, that wouldn't keep me from sleeping at night one bit. So I'm glad the Minuetmen are a thorn in their side and for you to want to stop them makes your POV questionable.
Cheap veggies are not worth getting the trash of Mexico in exchange. There are ways to allow people to enter America with some reform, which is needed. But to allow people to enter our country unchecked is foolish.
The talk about how illegal immigrants pay taxes, but don't get anything back is flat out BS! Look at LA county and all of it's hospitals that have shut down from all the uninsured illegal immigrants and every other source of public aide they've overburdend. The ends do not justify the means. I'd gladly pay more for veggies and fruit to avoid that BS....... actually I do since I buy all organic grown food stuffs that are locally grown.
I've spent more time in California than Utah in the last 2 years in my line of work. I had a reality check when I noticed the huge change, even from the mid-90's when I lived in Westminister/Hunnington Beach area. It's time for change now.
