Ok... I give up.H2Andy:ok ... last time
you can not treat illegals as criminals if the justice system does not treat them as such, correct?
BKP:Let 'em know you support an "open door policy" and there's always room for one more at your dinner table...
Uh oh... you're not invoking the "different skin color" card, are ya?H2Andy:when was the last time an illegal sat down with you at your table?
as far as i can tell, we work them hard on the agricultural fields by day, pay them a pittance, and then they go off to motels or small apartments to eat with their families
while we enjoy the cheap fruit of their labor
and demonize them because it's always easy to pick on people with a different skin color

SteveDiver:Skin color has nothing to do with it....
BKP:(PS - don't know when I've had an illegal to dinner, however, I bought a couple of six-packs for the guys laying brick on my last house... does that count?)
Ummm... noooo... I think it had more to do with when the immigration numbers went from 175,000/year to over 1,000,000/year... ya think?H2Andy:really?
are you so sure of that?
is that why illegal immigration only became an issue when predictions for a majority Hispanic (i.e. non-white) population surfaced a few years back?
