Right on! It is a humanitarian problem that needs a rational fix. Only problem, I head that our Congress people don’t spend much time in Washington anymore and then the Senate and House try to meet at different times so they don’t have to talk to each other.
Actually, Mr. King is more correct. There are more problems with gangs, thugs, and infighting in Central America. Parents send their kids north to avoid death squads. The correct answer is to help those countries reduce or eliminate their criminal element, so there is no incentive to ask your kids to move thousands of miles away, just so they can stay alive.
Part of this problem is that Mexico’s southern border is way more porous than ours.
How can Ramirez be racist when commenting on Hispanic issues? Furthermore, how is referencing piñatas – a Chinese creation that arrived in America by way of Europe – racist?
Hmm, how much of that violence in Central America (and Mexico) is the direct result of drug cartel operations, supplying the U.S. market for drugs? (Where you can bet more than a few Americans are in the receiving end of the profit stream.)

Which is also totally Obama’s fault.

Yet again: If we really wanted fewer illegals, we would prevent them from being hired.
But, of course, that would be Bad For Business, so hiring of illegals goes on.
But I’m pretty sure only Democrat business owners hire illegals. No Republican business owner would ever hire an illegal, right?
’Cause, they are all against illegal immigration.
