La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for July 03, 2015

It’s a well-established strategy, and not just with Mexican immigrants. La migra as latter-day Pinkertons.

An amnesty deal tied to a set time wall building could raise one up quick, latter-day indentured servitudeWe already have the illegals working for bare sustenance and confined to living in specific areas of housing. There used to be another name for it, but I’ve forgotten what it is. Anyway, it’s working fine for me. I get cheap produce & the grounds at the vulpine retreat have never looked better.If any of them get too uppity, it’s easy enough to send them home and replace them.

Maybe instead of building wall, capturing the ones that get through, taking care of their immediate medial needs, giving them a bed to sleep on etc. then returning them to Mexico to start the same process over again, we should adapt the Mexican culture and treat them as the Mexican treat the illegal entering Mexico from South America. Word would get out fast and they would stay home.

You don’t think any of Trump’s enterprises have any illegals already on the payroll?

Wouldn’t be patriotic, huh?

The whole “illegals” terminology is dehumanizing. Really, truly think of migrants, whether documented or not, first as people, as human beings, with the same needs in life as you and I. With family, and friends, and emotions, and hopes, and fears, and all the rest. And always keep that in mind. Then restart the conversation.

Or, as Al Franken said, "If they were smart, they’d build it from this side, then scatter when it was finished.

Agrestic, my son is very offended by people like you lumping him in with illegals. He spent over 5 years in his illegal migration to the USA .You are very insensitive to people who obey the law.
