Reply #169: So the main bitch I am gleaning off of these posts is that

immigrants are responsible for the state of the economy and the unemployment many claim they are suffering from. So they must be lined up, incarcerated and deported because they did something illegal. This illegal was likened to selling crack, etc., which incidentally are felonies. Crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor for all those who want to go all law and order on this.

So it really seems stupid to me to blame an underclass of people for all these problems instead of the legislators who created these problems, Republican administrations and Republican Congresses since Ronald Reagan.

Those are the people who set out to bust unions, deregulate business, water down our labor laws and who have refused to raise minimum wages for decades now. But I guess it's much easier to blame those least able to fight back instead of a bunch of fat cat legislators who are laughing all the way to the bank with our tax dollars.
