Its most important of all to ask "Who benefits?" Someone is benefiting from leaving all that food out for the flies. Check your premises, Maggie. Who is leaving the food out and why?

The businessmen who hire the illegals are the ones who benefit from this entire mess. The people who work for "la migra" also benefit, although to a far lesser degree. Let's say I have a 1,000 acre grape farm or, better yet, a chain of hotels/motels that uses illegal labor at a far lesser cost than what it would be to hire bona fide US citizens.

When's the last time you heard of of a group of Hilton executives (or whatever big hotel chain) being arrested for using illegals as employees? I go into the Walmart in Montrose, Colorado. You'd think I was in Mexico City. Those folks are buying stuff to support the Chinese economy just like good American citizens do. They pay sales tax on their purchases which goes to help underpin the staggering toward collapse any second now, Montrose County, Colorado economy.

Who contributes to the war chests of congress-persons in states where their is a high number of illegals? Don't all raise your hands at once. HINT: It is the AMERICAN (ie US) businessman.

US law currently states that any child born within this country's borders is automatically a citizen. Now, you can lobby DC to change this law or else you can make the decision to turn your "flies" into "bees." Give those kids the medical care, food, and education to make them productive citizens of this country.

We are willing to spend trillions on killing people in the Far East, yet dig in our heels at making an investment of millions here at home. The US needs to let go of its xenophobic attitude toward the world. We either kill foreigners outright or exploit them as a source of cheap labor. Check your premises. Who benefits from this stance?

Over to you, Ms. Rand.
