In today's paper, Herald & Review staff writer Ron Ingram has a nice story about ILLEGAL immigrants (no, they were not undocumented, or unverified guest workers...they WERE ILLEGAL as in NOT OBEYING THE LAWS OF THE LAND with regard to how they came here.)
This nice ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT had been in the US only 14 days before she was involved in crime. Shoplifting merchandise from various stores so someone else could re-sell it somewhere else. This had nothing to do with picking lettuce, or caring for small children, or cooking dinner for a local restaurant. THIS WAS CRIME. Now, this ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT was doubly ILLEGAL.
Thankfully, the Macon County Circuit Court did the right thing: they DEPORTED HER. She had the choice to stay here and be in jail for two years, or go back to Mexico. She chose deportation.
The problem I see is how the Macon County Circuit Court is going to verify she left, and verify that she hasn't come back in to this country by our OPEN BORDER to the south?

BOTTOM LINE: SOME illegals do jobs for piddly wages in the US because it's better than nothing (what they have in their own country.) SOME illegals do CRIMINAL JOBS because it's better than nothing. SOME illegals do TERRORIST jobs, because they think by blowing up people it will get them into heaven with varying numbers of virgins. SOME illegals do SPYING OR ESPIONAGE jobs because their country wants more information on the United States Government, for what ever reason.
THE BORDER NEEDS TO BE CLOSED. THOSE WHO WISH TO WORK LEGALLY CAN ENTER THROUGH LEGAL MEANS, AND THOSE WHO WISH TO DO ILLEGAL/TERRORIST/ESPONIAGE/SPYING, ETC., WILL HAVE TO TRY A LOT HARDER TO GET IN.
