To address the following as well.. There is nothing conservative (however Republican) about a "muscular" approach to undocumented immigration enforcement; where it violates the rights of anyone who gets caught in the profiling "net." There's nothing compassionate about illegals being given priority over those temporary workers who DO EVERYTHING PROPERLY and pay a lot of money in attorney's fee in order to work in the US. I once dated a Japanese gal who was on a temporary work visa here. She had to pay several thousands of dollars each time that visa had to be renewed. Finally the costs became too much to bear and she returned to Japan. Illegals avoid all of those costs. Many of them may be hard-working, but a good majority engage in criminal activity. But most importantly, and I have first hand knowledge of this, employers who utilize illegal labor avoid the additional costs of workman's compensation, health care benefits, and unemployment insurance. This means they will always use illegal labor to the detriment of American workers. This is especially the case in construction and agriculture. 90% of the the local dairies in our area utilize illegal labor.. My relatives who are in the construction business cannot compete with the cheap, illegal labor that is being utilized here... So these illegals become a burden on the US taxpayer in two different ways. They utilize free medical services.. And the Americans who can't obtain legal work because of illegals, wind up on welfare and food stamps.. I'm all for temporary work visas. I have no problem with that.. I just want to know they are being employed on an equal basis as American workers. But most of all, I want to know who they are.. It's too dangerous to have unknown parties preying upon our society. As for profiling, if they don't speak English (a requirement for US citizenship), I would say that's sufficient grounds for calling their status into question. Btw, look at how Mexico treats illegal aliens within their own society... Then go there and attempt to overstay your own visa and see what happens to you.. Hawk
