Now I am worried about global warming it's so serious that Bush can't kick it down the road for the next Pres to deal with. But don't worry he'll find a way to say plenty and do nothing.

The point is really the safty and explotation of all workers. I agree that immigrants from south of the boarder do a very good job at the jobs they persue. But safe condition and reasonable pay should not be denied just because they come accross legally or not.  That is another problem that needs its own solution.

If employers were required to pass inspections  and pay prevailing wages, hiring illegal imigrants would no longer be quite so attractive, so it might just slow to a controlable flow. Worth a try and humane as well.

Oh and fines for breaking the law, which should be more then a slap on the wrist, should be used to hire and pay for the boarder patrol needed.
