Originally posted by badmoon WE are all from immigrants, mate. Few at all had legal papers when they arrived.
We are all the same in the eyes of God. Even a southern dixie God.
There are two "worlds" we live in: the spiritual and the secular. Even the Bible tells us to abide by the laws of our governments (unless they confict with God's law). And therefore, illegal immigrants are criminals, by definition. I quite agree: We ARE all eqwual in the eyes of God. But in the eyes of our judicial system, we are not.
Originally posted by whodey Building a wall to keep out illegals is ridiculously expensive? So is building a wall around New Orleans to protect it against a future Kartrina, which will inevitably happen. In the interim, however, we will just sit back and let things fall as they may until the city is in the midst of another crisis. Hopefully, when it eventually hits it will have been more cost effective to just ignore the problem altogether rather than fix it properly.
No, the answer to New Orleans is dirt simple: bulldoze it and build it back in a reasonable location--preferably ABOVE sea level. Who was the idiot who decided "Hmmm, this is a good place to build a city; I can look UP and see the tide come in..."

The answer is simple:
1) Dig a trench along the border with Mexico
2) Take the dirt and use it to reinforce the New Orleans levies and you can build walls all along the Gulf coast in vulnerable areas
3) Channel the rising water caused by global warming to fill up the trench dug in sentence 1, above
4) Take the crocodiles that are causing trouble in Florida (http://www.nationalwildlife.org/nationalwildlife/article.cfm?issueID=82&articleID=493) and put them in the new moat along the Mexican border.
Presto. We solve all out problems with one fell swoop!
