BS.

This is about xenophobia at best, racism at worst. Duh. Undocumented workers pick your vegetables, cook your food, wash your dishes. If we rounded up all the undocumented workers and dumped over the border, our service economy would falter.

Sure, we'd recover in a matter of months, maybe. But what do you call it when your economy is propped up by a group of people with no legal rights? Say it.

You want people to stop pouring across the border? Invest in Latin America. When Latin America is as stable and prosperous as Canada, the'll have the same rate of undocumented immigration.

Of course, that doesn't feed your xenophobia or racism.

This is about how Republicans hate democracy, they hate the consitution, and they won't be happy until they've shackled blue state voters so we can't burst their bubble of burgeoisie decadence. When they get to their evil promised land, there won't be any of us left to tell them the difference between goodness and abomination.
