Reply #201: The face of immigration

[Maestro]

I have read through most of this thread and there is really not much I can add. The reasons for immigration are varied. Most of the blame for illegal immigration in my eyes lies with hypocritical business that complain about immigration yet pay illegal workers under the table dirt cheap wages. No wonder they come. I also believe that illegal and legal emigreés to this country provide much to the economy. They building the infrastructure of this county. They are helping the restaurant industry, the service industry and filling the jobs that many will not fill.

The pictures below are kids in my class. They are all immigrants. Some legal; others not. And the ones that are legal have parents that are not sometimes and have actually been separated from their parents because of forced deportation of one or both parents. These kids are incredible! They are eager to learn and want to be part of this country.
