JF, The only thing that bugs me is that the folks that rally the hardest against immigration, well sometimes there seems to be a racist undertone to their arguments.

It goes the other way, too. Anyone trying to enforce the illegal immigration laws are seen as racist.

The tradeoff is of course that some goods and services get more expensive. Maybe imported oranges become less expensive than domestic oranges, and some of the groves go out of business. Then again, maybe some of the software guys that are losing their jobs to cheap Indian labor could fill the void?

Either way, the businesses will migrate to areas where labor is cheapest. Net effect, citizens will have to adapt, not to mention the American economy.

I'd rather have the laws enforced, then change them wherever necessary. If we need a migrant worker program, let's do it. If the minimum wage is too high, let's fix it. If said migrant workers need driver's licenses, let's create a provisional one for them.

We're not going to get anywhere by pandering or selective enforcement.
