(But, glad to see LM ordered its agents to avoid arrests for a bit now, so that there's no confirmation that the "xenophobes" were more effective than the gov.)
Really, spanks, leave the racism card to the experts. That's one trick we shouldn't envy.

You have friends that live on the border? What do they do for a living?
I don't understand this fear of illegal immigration. Is this really a problem that should be at the top of our agenda? Almost everyone I know benefits almost daily from illegal immigration (cheaper food prices etc). And why are the illegal immigrants so harmful or dangerous? What is the crisis? All prior "dangerous immigrations" turned out to be beneficial. Do you think the US is better off today because we limited Irish, Southern European or Asian immigration at one time? It just seems to me that the people that are so concerned about illegal immigration just don't like having Mexicans around.
