What would Martin Niemoller think about Arizona?

The illegal immigration from Mexico will not stop, and cannot be stopped, until Mexicans feel that there is more benefit to staying in Mexico than there is in illegally entering the US.

I think there will always be a benefit to entering the US for people from any country in a similar situation to Mexico or just any that is more impoverished than the US. But as this video (posted a long time ago by xob i think) shows the US cannot handle the influx of even the legal immigrants let alone those coming here illegally.

Oh and this was from 2006

Which was my point; I just went on longer about why. Meanwhile it should be noted that opportunity in the United States is such that people are breaking in here to partake of it. Until fairly recently there were Chinese shipping themselves in using cargo boxes to partake of it.

I diffidently suggest "Expoverish." How to make sure that doesn't mean not only empty pockets but pockets turned inside out, I dunno. "Repoverish," um... "Counterpoverish," er, no. This is getting to be like rustproofing your 15th-century helmet with Sallet Dressing.
