Michael - I agree with you 100%. You are spot on about all of this. No one should be permitted to whine unless they are willing to be part of the solution and not the problem. From discusssions must come solutions! The President of the U.S. and the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security have one obligation to the U.S. - protect us. They job is not to accept the "victimology" of other countries or cultures. They must protect the country! So how does checking on employers protect the U.S.? Please someone tell me how the recent announcement from Homeland Security and Secretary Clinton protects the U.S.?? How? The question is not difficult. I want my country protected before hand, not after the fact. This is not a civil rights question. We must be a nation of laws, obey the laws, and enforce the laws. If they are unconstitutional, they are, but the moral fabric of our institutions and country does not permit legal representatives of the government to instruct others to ignore enforcing the laws - especially related to safety and felonius crimes! Now yes, their are extenuating circumstances that can make a difference in given situations, but most of us recognize what they are when they happen. We just have the capacity for good judgement, but this stuff has to stop.
Lastly, it does not matter about the poor uses of statistical analysis, 1 gun across the border is too many. Get the wall up. Get the moats and fences, and claymore mines installed. How many folks have gotten across the border between North and South Korean in the last 58 years? I rest my case. And their is still traffic that goes back and forth without contraband. How many people got across the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain when they were there? People did it for freedom, but not for money!
