A message legislators can’t ignore

If any legislators in Washington, D.C., were hoping that the illegal immigration issue would just go away, they now have a concrete reminder that it hasn’t. Voters in favor of building a wall along our southern border have sent legislators an estimated 10,000 bricks through the mail to get their point across.
The illegal immigration issue is such an emotionally charged one that perhaps the spokesman for Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., was right to suggest that the effort was a show of restraint by the voters: “Given the approval ratings of Congress these days, I guess we should all be grateful the bricks are coming through the mail, not the window,” he said.

    Evan Bayh is the DINO who believed that given enough time, we were sure to find WMD’s in Iraq.

    He should just join the Repubes and be done with it.

    Stack all the bricks you want; if the dangers of the Arizona desert don’t stop them, a wall, no matter how high, isn’t going to either. The only real solution is to create economic incentives for foreigners to stay home. Until that happens, the only way to stop illegal immigration is to make legal immigration considerably easier. That would have at least two advantages over the present situation; one, legal immigrants would be identified and we would be able to check them against terrorist watchlists, and two, by being legal, they would be less susceptible to blackmail and exploitation by employers and others. A wall solves nothing!
