81. Correct me if I'm wrong:
What you said, with which I disagree, was your response to the person who thought illegal immigrants were washing his car and trimming his hedges. The short version of your argument, as I understood it, was that if you call the INS every time you see someone you think is an illegal immigrant and you kick them out of the country, you're doing something helpful.

I also disagree with your characterization of illegal immigrantion as human trafficking, because that's a loaded term in this context, and because it doesn't fit the circumstances. Yes, there are people who make money helping illegal immigrants come to the US, but they only exist because illegal immigrants want to come here. You make it harder for people to come here, they just take bigger risks to do what they've always done.

My arguments in the last post are the same arguments I made in my first post.
