      No... unless you committed a crime this morning while you sped on your way to work. ;P

        Actually, they are. By definition, if you break a nation's laws and take actions to avoid punishement, you are a criminal.

        I see... "lazy" because they didn't have to struggle to get here. The problem is that to remain here, they need money. And unless they have lots of that, they have to get their butts working.

        Nah, an invasion translates to hostility. Most of these people just want to live and work here, like you and I do.

            Well by definition, yes. But I would not put going over the speed limit on the same level as tresspassing. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

              So morality is going to stop people crossing the border? People are going to get to the fence and see the error of their ways? I think JCs point (and JC can feel free to correct me here) was that walls don't work, not that they are immoral.

                    If he took actions to avoid the legal consequences for doing so he certainly is.

                                Well if you do any reading you will note that wall was to keep people in, against their will. This wall is to keep people out. It's the same as you see in any subdivision.

                                Actually that wall was quite effective. Read here "The Great Wall offers excellent defence since it had been built in strategic places. It played an vital role then. There were many instances in ancient times that it took a very long time to take a city or mountain pass. And even cases that those who launched the attack had to retreat without a fight, for they saw the strong defence work of the city. In the Central Plain of China such firm and high defence work proved to be very useful to foil the attacks of mobile cavalry, which roamed from one place to another. As a result of Ming Dynasty's continuous construction and improvement,the Great Wall became a perfect defence network, whereby the central Chinese authority could, by means of various administrative and military levels of organization, reach the basic or grass root military unit, down to each soldier guarding the Great Wall. " A wall will not keep any military aggressors out, but it will keep criminals out. It may not stop 100%, but if it stops even 50% it will be well worth it.

                                  I am not Mexican. I am not even dark skinned (maybe a little beach-tanned, at most). My point is that the political discourse of Stan, espeir, punkinhead and a part of the extremists is not about trying to solve a big problem; it is just the instintive reaction of "kick'em out". They think they can solve a problem with 12 million people the same way they would expulse 10 people. They don't think about the huge amount of logistical, political, economical and ethical complications. Since is just an instinctive reaction it is not reason. That's why facts don't matter. And to be honest, I can't even say I don't like what they say. I don't even dislike espeir, stan and etc. They are too far away from me to do me any harm. Actually I find them a little exotic, in a curious sense; like those exotic people in National Geographic Magazine. At a close look, no one is normal.

                                    I am not Mexican. I am not even dark skinned (maybe a little beach-tanned, at most). My point is that the political discourse of Stan, espeir, punkinhead and a part of the extremists is not about trying to solve a big problem; it is just the instintive reaction of "kick'em out". They think they can solve a problem with 12 million people the same way they would expulse 10 people. They don't think about the huge amount of logistical, political, economical and ethical complications. Since is just an instinctive reaction it is not reason. That's why facts don't matter. And to be honest, I can't even say I don't like what they say. I don't even dislike espeir, stan and etc. They are too far away from me to do me any harm. Actually I find them a little exotic, in a curious sense; like those exotic people in National Geographic Magazine. At a close look, no one is normal.

                                    Hopefully not like the women in the remote jungles of Africa that they always seem to find - the ones that run around with their boobs dragging on the ground? I don't want to picture Stan or espeir that way.

                                      The only pertinent fact is that we simply cannot absorb the entire poverty stricken masses of Latin American regardless of what otherwise wonderful people we might be. It is not our fault that these invaders happen to be of another "race" (what ever the hell that means). We have to drawn a line somewhere. It might as well be here and now. If that means being inhumane than we should be inhumane. We are no more obligated to be suicidally nice people than any other nation on the planet. The three million that were given amnesty in 1986 are now 11 million just as everyone at the time knew would happen. The current 11 million are going to become 30 million. The 30 million will become a hundred million at which point we will simply become a Latin American nation. There is absolutely no legislation that has been offered that has done anything to address this massive infiltration of our society by peoples from disfunctional hispanic nations. Regardless of what it takes we need to immediately begin seriously criminalizing businesses that hire them, and begin shipping them back to Mexico, do whatever it takes to secure the border, and than institute a sane guest worker program. This is absolutely our last opportunity to defend the econmic and social integrity of American culture and avoid massive, perhaps cataclysmic, social unrest in the future.

                                      What is so exotic about wanting the same migration restrictions that your country maintains? When I see Brazil importing its share of Mexicans, I might consider you as something other than a hypocrit. "You get that which you tolerate"

                                        That's a hell of a distinction. Do you think walls to keep things out have some magical property that make them more effective than walls to keep things in? Please tell us how that works.

                                        Well, the big distinction that needs to be made about the Berlin wall, aside from keeping people in, was that it was only the final leg of a no man's land along the border which was enforced by the military with a shoot to kill policy for people looking like they were escaping. Sure, that didn't stop everyone but it was pretty effective. If you raise the ante to a high probabibility of being killed if you're caught, people might tend to think twice before trying. The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.
