Ron, I'll address you comments in reverse order.

       I don't think the border patrol should bother with drugs. Their business is immigration. If they concentrated on people, they'd be more apt to catch a terrorist if one should pop up there.

       Drugs should be legalized, totally. If they weren't illegal, they would have very little value, and nobody would bother bringing them into the country.

       Illegal aliens do not do jobs Americans don't want to do. They do jobs for wages Americans can't afford to work for. They also do a lot of jobs that simply don't need doing. People in California used to mow their own lawns.

       And it's not a done deal. The authorities need to go after people who hire illegals. In my book, the board of directors of Tyson Foods ought to be in jail. If you made it impossible for illegals to find work here, they'd quickly discover it's cheaper to live in Mexico, or wherever, and go home.

       Frankly, I don't care if they carry insurance or not. If they are not allowed to have drivers licenses, they should be stopped for driving without one, and if they don't have proof of insurance, get them out of the country.

       The one piece of legislation that does need to be passed, is a measure clarifying that segment of the 14th Amendment that allows children born in this country to be granted automatic citizenship. If that were done, a whole bunch of illegals would quit showing up at the emergency rooms.
