Talking about immigration reform isn't the same as "defending illegals". But obviously the discussion is way over your head. You're just falling in with the "cool kids", the mob if you will. And spewing the same rhetoric.

You guys can keep talking about the illegal boogeyman as if it's one big gang, making the issue less complex, simple and stupid. Keeping trying to make it cowboys vs. indians, good guys vs. bad guys, while the rest of us talk about the actual issues: fixing and improving the system, realistic goals to lower illegal crossings, and keeping anti-Mexican rhetoric out of the discussion.
LOL still avoiding. But I'll bite. Illegals are bad guys. Why? Because 100% of them are criminals.
Amnesty won't fix the problem. Rewarding illegal behavior only invites more. The last amnesty should teach us all that lesson.
The only thing that is over my head in this discussion is why you can't answer a simple question.
How can you defend illegal immigration given the enormous numbers of victims due to illegal alien crimes?
How do you justify amnesty which only rewards illegal behaviors?
Read my posts. I want employers hammered for the laws that they break.
I am not un-sympathetic towards the illegals problems. I just feel that our own people in need are more deserving of our resourses than people who don't respect our laws or our rights as a nation.
What reform do we need? We need to raise our standards for one. We don't need unskilled or uneducated people. We produce enough of those already.
Lastly we don't owe them anything. Not a thing.

Why will you not answer the questions asked.

They are not hard questions.
They are not complicated to comprehend.

Why change the subject, when you have no answers?
Consider the source.

Completely agree. We should have no problem with people willing to immigrate legally. Somewhere out there, is a good family who respects American culture and respects our laws, being denied a visa because our country is already filled with illegals.

That's exactly true. How many employers of illegals ever made an attempt to bring in legal immigrants to work? Most never did. They have no intention of following the law because it's all about getting cheap labor.

Agricultural visas are not limited so there is no excuse for illegal farmworkers to be brought in. Legal farmworkers are better paid, and are given better working conditions and there is no excuse since there are no limits on these temporary visas.

Out-of-control illegal immigration makes it far more difficult for those good people out there who would like to come here for all the right reasons and would respect our laws.
