I worked my ass off today. I took a short break. That's all cut and paste.Did you do any work today?As long as employers are willing and able (without severe penalties) to hire illegal workers, people will risk life and limb to grab at the America Dream. When we stop hiring and paying them, most will leave of their own volition over a few years, and the remaining few who are committed to the US will obtain citizenship through normal channels. This is, after all, the middle-class "American Dream." And how much better this hemisphere would be if Central and South Americans were motivated to stay in their own nations (because no employer in the US would dare hire them) and fight there for a Mexican Dream and a Salvadoran Dream and a Guatemalan Dream (and so on). This is the historic Progressive vision for all of the Americas...
This was all written by my progressive hero Thom Hartmann. He used to have Bernie Sanders on his show a lot. Great man. You Republicans don't realize how liberally progressive you are being today.
