Pros and Cons of America's

Broken Borders:


Businesses who obey the law and only hire legal immigrants are not able to compete fairly with contractors in construction and landscaping who do not, should a crack down on employers be implemented nationwide? staff1@stmarystoday.com

War on Drugs a Winner? Increased border efforts may be contributing to driving up the price of cocaine.
When immigrants run up against laws restricting illegal aliens, even legal immigrants feel discriminated against and often leave town with closed shops and drop-off in business for the towns that didn't want them...Arizona  Pennsylvania  Florida

Crime victims of illegal aliens     The New York Times called them Mexican 'wetbacks' when Ike cracked down on illegal border crossings, farmers and ranchers profited from low cost labor, bribed officials to not enforce borders...We Hire Aliens website promises to punish employers who illegally hire illegal aliens; promote boycott of Bank of America; Banks help illegal aliens own their own homes; firm hired to build border fence charged with hiring illegal's to build it; legal options don't exist for many immigrants; illegal aliens often part of local crime scene with several arrested recently trying to hire hookers on Great Mills Road;   send your views on the topic to staff1@stmarystoday.com


READER FEEDBACK:
Absolutely. If we don't crack down we may as well change the name of this country to Amexican.

As a one time long term resident of St. Mary's County I find the illegal immigrant story very slanted.
Yes they are here illegally and yes they depress wages but that is only part of the story. Has any corporation head gone to jail for hiring these illegal's? Isn't it congress and the Bush administration that will not pass legislation to over haul immigration? Do you really think these people mostly from south of the border would be here if there were no jobs for them? Why are you not angry with the real culprit, big business?  
 Come on people place the blame on our government and big business. And if you're really angry then get out and support candidates that will at least try fixing this mess.

Call them what they are: They are illegal immigrants depressing wages
From William Sanders
-- How about a less slanted view option? That you call them what they are, which is "illegal immigrants." And, that you quit saying "they're doing the jobs Americans won't do." All they do is depress wages, Cost the taxpayers money, and send their money back across the border. I guess you missed this story: The Illegal's Crackdown
