The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I take it you aren't a regular donor to illegal immigrant causes. :whistle:

I agree with Kamaji.
Articles about "dead illegals" have actually become heartening to read.
There should be a penalty for being illegal.
And sometimes...   there is.

I think we should be more angry at the people that allow this situation to happen than we are at the illegals that are trying to get here. Of course they're going to come here when the door is open. This is a great country and they want to be part of it. They want to have a better life. I can't wish death on somebody just for doing whatever they can to better their lives.
