Isn't "Illegal" actually a sick bird?

Rich, you are absolutely correct.  The Immigration laws are outdated and they need desperately to be reviwed, change, ammended and whatever they need to do, in order for them to work.

To continue trying to implement the existant laws is wrong. there are many different causes, issues that need to be fixed.

Times change, causes change, issues change.

The anti-Hispanic-Immigrant crowd seems to be making a religion of illegal immigration.  I have yet to hear reasons beyond "It's ILLEGAL!".  The immigration laws have not been reviewed and updated for over 20 years.  Do you really think they are as applicable today?  

Marijuana is legal in many states but the federal laws were enacted by Richard Nixon. Whose law do we follow?  Prohibition seems to have been ignored by most citizens. No authority tried to go around after it was repealed to arrest those who did not follow the law at the time. So it will be with immigration laws once we get Congress to do their jobs. 

Tell your congressperson to do their job. Determine what laws we need to control immigration, what resources we need to apply the laws and processes, and how they are going to pay for them.
