Reply #103: The U.S. has a huge appetite for cocaine, too...

...but the last I checked, we still didn't advocate "opening our borders" to coke.

I agree that it's a complex issue...one that would probably be best handled in two ways: 1) Help improve conditions in less-fortunate countries and 2) make this country less attractive my fining the hell out of companies that hire undocumented workers (thus drying up the labor market for illegals).

I'm not advocating mass round-ups either...just deporting the illegal immigrants we run across (traffic stops, hospital visits, etc). I know it sounds draconian, but I think it's much more responsible than encouraging others to enter this country illegally.
