You are correct, there are much better ways of addressing the immigration issue. Given the state the economy is in, though, it may be Mexico that is closing its borders to us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508114700180229059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052731808587837031.post-67084246297719346682010-05-22T04:11:33.126-07:002010-05-22T04:11:33.126-07:00You've hit it right on the heart! beautifully ...You've hit it right on the heart! beautifully put Tim!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667955555940467301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052731808587837031.post-57704465427057601772010-05-21T06:48:28.681-07:002010-05-21T06:48:28.681-07:00LINDA,
Thanks for your thoughts. It's hard to ...LINDA,<br />Thanks for your thoughts. It's hard to gauge how the rest of the country looks at this situation when every comedian starts his monologue with a joke about Arizona. <br /><br />TALON,<br />It boils down to are we going to keep on treating the SYMPTOMS of the problem, i.e., rounding people up and sending them back home when more will just be coming to replace them and many of the same ones you sent back home will also be coming back--or do we try to treat the underlying condition that causes those symptoms--that is, why do they all want to be here in the first place? That has to do with living conditions in a poor country, and how can WE fix that, without annexing Mexico and making them a part of the U.S. and bringing their standard of living in line with ours?<br /><br />LORRAINE,<br />You've hit upon the bottom line--all borders are in our minds, and any solution must come from a place of humanitarianism, not fear!Timoteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351410966396854582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052731808587837031.post-52746939075769002082010-05-21T05:33:27.147-07:002010-05-21T05:33:27.147-07:00OK FIRST You are all welcome to Canada, TRULY!

I can imagine that it's a difficult issue to deal with and one that has gained attention for all the wrong reasons for what I've always think of as a beautiful state.

I understand that Arizona is closer to the problem, at least border-wise and drug-cartel wise, than we are here in Georgia. I understand that people all across the nation - especially when things are as bad economically as they are now - like to rant about how so many of us don't have health care and yet 'these illegal aliens' who don't pay taxes can come here and get free care and take our jobs - but, again, I'm thinking 'what the ...?'. I don't know what the answer is, but I just feel that this was not it, that it's too much big brother or something to be able to go up to anyone who looks of a different ethnicity (i.e. Mexican) and demand papers. And, speaking only for myself, I certainly haven't blamed or thought ill of you or your fellow Arizonians!Wander to the Waysidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056931538024315352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052731808587837031.post-2666545368973636922010-05-20T13:16:29.866-07:002010-05-20T13:16:29.866-07:00ARLENE,
