The debate of the day is what to do about illegal immigration. The biggest problem I have with a lot of what is being said and written is how few people seem to be starting the debate from the right point. They are starting at the end instead of the beginnining. They are starting with immigration and skipping right over the illegal part. How people can have this debate while considering only half the issue is beyond belief.

The left is being so incredibly overwhelmingly hypocritical in their support for "undocumented workers." The same people who despise Wal-Mart for being non-union and pass laws forcing them to conform their payroll policies to their liberal vision of fairness, the same people who repeatedly call for what they term a "living wage" seem to have no problem with millions of people making less than minimum wage.

And here's a word of caution to illegal aliens everywhere. Do you know what will happen when you achieve some sort of recognized legal standing? All of those jobs that you are doing because American's don't want them are going to be subject to the full brunt of government regulation. This means that a lot of those jobs are going away because employers won't be able to afford you. So be careful what you wish for.
