=======================================
Replying to a message of Gary Braswell to John Massey:

 GB>>> There is no need to shoot people just for trying to cross the
 GB>>> border.

 JM>> Then why have a border?

 GB> We can try other things fist, John. You know that. Come on.

 GB> The reason its epidemic is the lack of enforcement, the lack of
 GB> political action because of politicians wanting the Hispanic vote as
 GB> well as allowing business to get cheap labor.

Not to mention the fact that American citizens don't want to pay the price
on goods that's required to pay other American citizens to produce them.
Which is why so many manufactured goods are no longer manufactured in
this country.

What I find somewhat interesting about the recent raids on midwest meat
packing plants is the fact that those plants actually pay relatively well.  I
once
talked with a fellow who (says he) made $16.00/hr to hose off cow carcasses
hanging on a conveyor that moved past his station.  Presumably the fellows
who actually killed the animals and cut them up made more.  Yet there seems
to be a chronic shortage of workers in meat packing plants, there are several
in my area and they're always advertising for help.

 GB> If enough people get upset about it, start dumping politicians who
 GB> won't do anything about it, start to elect those who will and enforce
 GB> things already on the books, build that wall and other things well
 GB> known, the stream will be cut way down. Look at the success of the
 GB> wall in Israel. The first suicide bomber in a year.

That wall isn't 700 miles long, and the area is much more densely populated
than is the American southwest.
