The Vail Spot: Which Way Home

No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Which Way Home

"Which Way Home", a documentary on children ILLEGALLY attempting to enter the US is now showing on HBOHD...I don't know, but I don't have hell of a lot of sympathy for children who are breaking the law to enter this country. Not only that, the Mexican government has formed a group, called Grupos Beta, to HELP people enter the US by providing food water and directions as to the easiest crossing points.

First of all, I think it's well past time that we secure first the southern border, then the northern. Without secure borders, we will continue to have major problems with illegals coming here for work.

Secondly, we need to vigorously prosecute those who HIRE illegals. In this time of high unemployment, and economic unease, giving employment to people who are here against the laws of this country is insane. If we prosecute those companies and individuals who hire them, the jobs will dry up rapidly and the problem will solve itself.
