Act On Immigration Now
The well-publicized immigration raid on the Swift and Co. meatpacking plant in Cactus serves as a troubling reminder that our immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed.
Texas businesses want and need to follow the law. Unfortunately, they lack a sensible and reliable system to verify an employee’s legal status.
Employers are forced to navigate tricky waters each time they make a hire.
Texas businesses must deal with complex immigration regulations; a glut of seemingly valid, but sometimes counterfeit, worker identification documents; and the threat of discrimination lawsuits if they ask the “wrong” questions about employees’ documents.
Enforcement alone will not fix our immigration system, and it has failed in the past. We can’t just build walls around a broken system — we need to fix it to make sure we achieve real security, restore law and order and have enough workers to continue growing our economy.
It is time for a serious solution to this serious challenge. It is time for Congress to act.

I think it's been shown that there's a 17 billion dollar net gain to the Texas state economy as a result of tolerating illegal immigration from Mexico. The reason it goes on is because someone's making a buck, if it wasn't lucrative, it wouldn't be happening. It also amounts to corruption, people breaking the law in the name of profit. But, it's in the billions...
I think I like what I read about Calderon, Mexico's new president. He's got a great idea for a national initiative, they're talking about building 2,500 or so public schools.
Society requires infrastructure. Street lights, public sewer/water, houses, roads, schools, hospitals, churches, offices, stores, so forth and so on. This is not news, nor are they new inventions.
What they are is EXPENSIVE. But, nothing to worry about there, because Mexico's got an economy of its' own. What's at issue is that basically there's some people in Mexico that don't seem to want to help anyone else out, and so basically they're chasing all their poor people to 'el norte', the land of the Perpetual Paycheck.
Mexico can, and should, tend the needs of its' own people. If they really made an earnest effort of that, maybe others would be inclined to help. I think their new guy will be a positive voice for change there, I think if we give it a year, we'll see some great changes for Mexico. Nothing happens overnight, and you can't get blood from a stone, but you can put one stone on top of the other, mortar them together, and keep doing that until you've got walls, and then put a roof over it all, and you've got a house.
Speaking of houses, read about reinforced adobe...it's cheap, it's good, it's quick, and if built right, it's safe.

No. It in simple terms ability they might't reproduce. you're able to spay your lady as properly. The hormones are produced interior the strategies, not interior the testicles. the will could nevertheless be there. Like a guy who's had a vasectomy. they might nevertheless have intercourse, in simple terms can not reproduce. additionally, that may not a intercourse concern. often circumstances mounting is a dominance concern. My canines is neutered and he's tried two times now to mount adult males on the canines park, yet I make him get down.

No lets see....we need to have real security, restore law and order.......ya...that's what us anti's have been saying all along. Problem is when you try and do that everyone gets in a huff. Ya there's work to be done but it sure doesn't start with amnesty.
I'm anxious to see how the law suit goes for them from where American workers are suing them for firing them in order to hire illegal cheap laborers.
