Our Role In Immigration Mess

TO THE EDITORS:

I understand perfectly the currently fashionable sentiment against illegal immigrants - especially if some commit crimes.

We need to understand, however, that our demand for illegal drugs and cheap goods has, to a large degree, created the intolerable conditions these people are fleeing. And for whatever underlying reason, we have, in fact, let them cross the border.

Once immigrants have, at great peril, taken the initiative to improve their lives and take advantage of Replica Christian Louboutin Shoes jobs available here, we should not deport them without a sympathetic hearing.

Some of those paperless people have become assimilated and have U.S.-born children. Conservatives have proposed the totally unconstitutional idea to deprive those children of citizenship.

Where are the "family values" folks on that question? If it were realistically workable, it would make more sense to me to deport the users of illegal drugs than immigrants fleeing the drug gangs.

And how is that exorbitant 40-year war on drugs going anyhow? About as well as Prohibition.

This deportation fever is right in line with the recent local "Law and Order" finch-napping episode by the Game Commission.

Anti-immigrant fever has been here before - legal and illegal. Just as has been the case for previous waves of immigrants, demagogues are ranting against the current wave.

And as before, those immigrants' greatest crime may be to look and sound different from those who came over on the Mayflower.
