[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4931635, member: 24302"] I am 100% for shutting down the border. I am 100% for removing criminals from the country. But don't kid yourself. All these people who are here now aren't here as the result of one party's policies. Don't blame them for a porous border. This hasn't been going on for 10 or 20 years but for many decades. I have half Hispanic cousins because of it. Most of the Hispanic citizens in this country today are here because their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, or even further back crossed the border illegally. We can harumph all we want but it doesn't change that. Clamp down on the border because it's absolutely necessary. But don't treat the people already here like vermin because chances are your relatives came here under less than auspicious circumstances and weren't treated with much dignity either. Try to rise above, not sink to new lows. [/QUOTE]
