>> Dear Craig: I dont know about wetbacks << a term used to describe mexicans who swam across the rio grande to illegally invade our country. their backs were still wet when they arrived on our shores hence the term. >> but here in S. Fla the Latino's make up an important part of our economy << the fact that illegal immigrants are easily exploitable for our benefit is not enough of a reason to allow them in our country. it is harmful to both them and us. >> For the most part they are God Fearing hard working honest people. Whats the problem with that? << i don't have a problem with people who have waited their turn in line and came here legally, and seek to assimilate as americans. unfortunately that is not often enough the case these days. i do have a problem with those who encroach on the sovereignty of our borders for whatever purpose, even if it's just to look for a job. the blame doesn't even fall squarely on the illegals. it falls on our society which encourages them to come here in the first place. i don't have any problems with mexicans as long as they stay in their own country and pursue immigration the legal way. of course i think we need to have a debate in this country about just how many legal immigrants we allow in, but that is a separate topic. the first order of business is to send the 10 million illegals who are here back where they belong.
