The 700 miles of wall already constructed since 2006, plus the growth in border security, has forced many to try crossing by way of the Sonoran Desert. Some 6000 have died trying, with another 2500 reported missing by their Mexican families, and last known to be attempting entry via the Sonoran Desert.

Heartbreaking. You're right. I didn't know that otherwise law abiding people were being tackled in their driveways for immigration issues. I'm glad the story apparently has a happy ending.

I'm sure the usual crowd will call me a racist for this, but I believe one of the things this story highlights is how critical it is that immigration be conducted legally. Ray and his family paid a difficult price for his decision to illegally immigrate. He appears to be the sort of person who we are fortunate to have in this country and I'm glad he has been allowed to return. I wish the process had been faster, but I don't think anyone can really be surprised by government dalays.

BTW, to me the color of Ray's skin (or of anybody else's) is a non-issue.

IMO, they definitely would be. Who's going to do those jobs? White people? No. We're too lazy a breed to do manual labor for such wages.

IMO, if you make a statement about whites (such as the one above) that would be racist if it was about a different race, your statement is racist. The color of a person's skin has no relevance to these sorts of things.

Fair enough. But as a white man, I feel very confident in saying that we'd rather be lazy and collect unemployment or suck off the system rather than make low wages and sweat their *** off for 8-9 hours a day. It's sad but true.

I give mad props to any illegal who's working their *** off like most of them do.

Ok?

I dunno if you are just trying to strike up conversation, but you've seen all the times in this thread where I've said that by "financial reasons" I just meant that building a wall would be really expensive?

I'd prefer to avoid living off of unemployment if I can, and I'd prefer making a good living to scraping by on a barely sustainable wage, but I'm willing to do whatever work I need to do. I'll bet there are millions of people, regardless of complexion, who feel similarly. Melanin levels have nothing to do with any of this stuff.

We can agree to disagree.

I know. I'm simply adding this as another reason not to build a wall on top of that and the other ones GF listed.

I'd also add that it would be ironic as heck given what we supposedly stand for.
