What kind of word is "teabaggerish"? The kind that obviously solicited a response.
The immigration issue appears to be nothing more than a rallying cry for conservatives. Many small to mid-size businesses have been using illegal labor since the 80's, which helped them to grow and create new jobs.
Additionally, since the illegals are undocumented, it's fair to say, that there exists no conclusive data with respect to the percentage of crimes committed by illegals, even Arizona has admitted that they can't come up with any firm statistics, again with respect to illegal immigration and levels of criminality.
It seems okay to criminalize those that accept work (who wouldn't), rather than those that offered the work in the first place, anti-business as liberals are so often labeled. Arizona is also the same state that refused to honor Martin Luther King, a symbol of the civil rights movement, that tells me everything I need to know. I immigrated to this country as a child, my perspective on this issue is quite different. Neither of our perspectives will change. Having visited many places in both South and Central America while in college, taught me many of the attributes that I carry with me today, one of which is being empathetic to the basic need of feeding one's family.
