wow, strange coincidence... posted that before seeing yours.

but easy answer! He didn't commit murder because he's an immigrant, he commited murder because he's a dick. And if he was legally admitted (under my new system... vote queequeg in 2008), the police would have had access to his information in the same databases they can access american citizens with prior records. I.E. in this case, him being legal would have been better for society.

You may want to read-up a bit on how many illegal felons try to cross the border EVERY DAY.

Immigration is about the law and nothing more.

Welcome indeed, queequeger! I like the way you think--you're able to see the human side of this issue.

Sound like you already have a number in mind--why don't you tell us what it is, and cite your source(s) please. I'd like to know exactly what you mean by 'illegal felons.'

Not true. Immigration is also about business and economics, society, cultures, human rights, work and working conditions, travel, education, families...
