Immigration Riots

Once again immigration reform causes a stir. Funny how the illegal immigrants all hide and avoid the system until they might get booted and suddenly free speech is seized upon.

I don't have a problem with immigrants and don't have an answer to illegal immigration. As long as Mexico and any number of other countries are cesspools of civilization then people will attempt to get into the US. I don't see that they really hurt anything other then a rather irritated minority who don't want to earn their jobs and would prefer to be able to hold the country hostage to their whims. Kind of like the auto unions.

The one thing I do find wrong in the immigrant situation is that anyone born on US soil is a US citizen - period. Mexicans, and others, have been abusing this for decades. Get across the border before giving birth, go to a hospital who has to care for you for free and the kids are US citizens. Talk about rewarding the child for a crime of the parent. This should be reformed.

Then there are the children living in Mexico who come across the border every day for school. That should be illegal. I couldn't go to the neighboring town without coughing up cash when I grew up.

Then there are t he unions are Delphi. "We will strike if the contracts are voided...blah, blah, blah." Perhaps they missed the meaning of Delphi closing ALL their plants in the US. Exactly what are they going to strike? Delphi is gone and bankrupt - lot of good that will do the union membership. GM? Strike them and they are gone and bankrupt as well. More union members on the street. Those who aren't fools should be taking GM's buyout cash and running to the bank as fast as they can.
