I agree, we need to seal the border, and not just because of Mexicans. Anyone can cross the southern border relatively easily, including terrorists. Let's get the border sealed, get the illegals already here legalized so they can be added to the tax base, and let them pursue their dreams like the rest of us, so we can move on.

Nope, not true. We don't want criminal activity in this country. No documentation allows them to do whatever they want and no accountability! That is OUR issue in TEXAS, Rico!!!

I am not prejudiced against nationality or skin color. I however am very prejudiced against bad attitudes.

There is truth in this. Although it doesn't make my daughter cry, she is catered too everywhere she goes because of her blonde hair and blue eyes. Sometimes that it not always annoying. lol

Did I mention your name???? There's an old saying about throwing a rock into a pack of dogs and the first one to yelp......................................

Just giving you a hard time!

I didn't have you in mind when I made that post. If you will notice, I didn't say ALL. I said MANY. When presented with a better alternative and the only solution one can see is to round them all up no matter what it costs to do so, then it isn't hard to see that there's more behind the argument than what is being presented. KWIM?
