While many people are concerned mainly with the number of immigrants, some people do actually think it is a good thing to control borders in today's climate. Perhaps there is a reason that the House bill focuses on enforcement... oh yea the last time a "comprehensive" immigration law was passed in the 1980s we "forgot" to enforce the employer section while granting amnesty to millions who broke our laws. While wer'e at this, maybe you can tell us where we draw the line at ignoring laws? Finally, the real reason why you and I would not work for poor wages that illegals will. In an economic climate that allows this, no employer in certain industries can afford to compete against a rival who uses illegal labor if they use legals. If we cut off the economics of hiring illegals, capitolism will adjust as it always does to the system in place. Wages, costs, and prices will rise to the level that everyone can work with and we won't have all the collateral damage that thirty years of ignoring illegal immigration has given us.

Many people claim Fort Worth is nicer, I claim all of north Texas bites it. Depends who you ask, but I’ve never been that impressed with either Fort Worth or Dallas.
