From those pictures I would say that these guys are doing more harm to their cause than good. I also think that they need to learn a little lesson in history themselves. Suppossedly the indians came across the Bering Strait from Asia. So who was here before them? Was it empty land? Or did they kill everybody that was here before and that population is lost to the sands of time? Who knows. Who cares. The "I was here first" argument is irrelevant at this point.

Immigration is what makes this country strong. IMHO, it is what makes this the best country in the world. We draw on cultural strengths from all over the world. And, usually the guy that has the balls to leave the comfort of home and come to America is going to be the same guy that makes a valuable contribution to society.

The problem with our southern border is that they are pouring over faster than they can be assimilated and that causes problems. As somebody said above, they are illegal. 'nuff said.

BTW - I'm not in favor of amnesty either. President Clinton already did that once. All it did was lead to an increase in guys sneaking over here, in hopes that we would do it again (that last part is only my opinion of why they are coming in increasing numbers)
