I was also torn on this issue. Both sides have meaningful arguments. My mind was made up while watching a news program that had sent a crew to the other side of the boarder. They interviewed a couple with three kids and the father explaining how difficult it was to make a living that supported his family. He would head north for 6 months to a year and then return for a short visit then turn around and do it all over again.

We all are just trying to survive and I have to say, that father has every right to do whatever it takes to survive. At least he wasn't stealing to make a living.... or selling drugs... he just wanted to have a job and the only place to go was to the U.S..

Go after the employers not with just fines... but jail time....tighten security along the border and start processing the illegals that are here for work permits with the possibility of citizenship sometime down the road.

That is my humble opinion.....
