re: 1. I think your idea to round up and deport 12 million cheap illegal laborers would be harmful to the US economy, harmful to the US workers you want to help, and definitely harmful to the illegal laborers. Back to your circle... I never said "round up and deport". Quit misrepresenting my words. I said enforce current laws wrt hiring illegals. It's happening a bit more recently... because it's a very popular position in the US. And it is helpful to the lower middle class; it raises wages. And a stronger middle class is good for the economy. re: 2. I also don't think you have any right to portray yourself a "defender of the working man" while advocating the poorest, least protected 12 million workers in the US should be fired. They shouldn't have been hired in the first place, and they are working illegally now. Do you think all laws can be broken, or just this one? We don't want to be the UAE Elroy, we want a strong middle class. A 'working poor' class isn't good for anyone. Mexicans (and others) can enter the US through legal means. We shouldn't reward those that enter by illegal means. Got it?
