So what? It's STILL an ILLEGAL ACT,a CRIME, a FELONY.
You said that the illegals("most of them") were not committing
any crimes except the crossiing itself.
I think you have your blinders on.

...


then why do the cartels still get people to swallow drug-filled
condoms?? The answer is that they'll use any and every way they
can.Including using illegals as "mules".

Think man, if someone is coming across illegally, why bother
swallowing it. Just keep it in the back back and carry far more.

I fear you are looking for the type of arguments that fit your
opinion and not taking the time to think critically about them.

First of all, nobody here, including Yanik, has ANY idea what
percentage of people coming from Mexico are carrying drugs. So,
this entire discussion is bull****. But, since we're knee-deep in
it, we may as well entertain the only theory that makes sense. If
someone is caught coming across, and they're not wanted for some
sort of crime, they're sent back with a slap on the wrist. They'll
try again later, maybe get caught again, or maybe be successful.
To carry drugs, they'd either need one hell of a good plan, or be
extremly stupid, since they lose nothing but time if they caught
carrying nothing.

Some here NEED to believe drugs are a major issue because it's
convenient for them to assign a "stupid" label to illegal
immigrants, along with all the other categories they'd like them
to fit into. But, they have no statistics to back up this belief.

The global economy is coming... No way to avoid it. If the U.S.
were smart, they'd put the laws in place to control the change of
their economy and then open the borders to all.

Protectionism only works in the short run, and you end up paying
double for it when it fails.


True, but I think this is racism as much as protectionism.



It's anti-CRIME.
You folks seem to want to excuse it.

No. We agree that crossing the border illegally is a crime. However,
some here (maybe you) have assigned all sorts of other sins to these
people. So far, I've seen drug smuggling, spreading disease, and bad
driving. Since we have no stats on any of these, I'm assuming they're
fictional until proven otherwise. And, if you choose to find stats,
you'll also needs stats indicating that legal residents are NOT
responsible for the same sins.




You can ASSume anything you want.
