Greg it makes sense to me and I respect your point of view and agree with 98% of it.
I wasn't looking to stir the pot and my question was an honest one. The reason I asked for clarification is that a very very good friend of mine came from those who pick produce. His parents came to the U.S. legally and worked VERY hard to carve out the best life possible for their family. They started in the fields. Their children all are very well educated (by their own means) and all have very good jobs. I have nothing but the utmost respect for them.
I just don't think it's fair to those who do all that it takes to come to the U.S. legally when many others come in illegally. It's a pretty big slap in the face to anyone that has earned it.
My wife works for the local police department here in Las Vegas and I have a lot of friends on the department. They will tell you that the illegals that cause a great many problems. The fact that that they came here by an illegal means shows a bit of who they are. Those that came here legally...well that also shows the type of person they are.
I honestly don't care where a person comes from. I have been all over the world with my job and I have spent time in a lot of poor places. There are good people everywhere and we all have the same basic desire to improve our way of life. Anyone that make the immigration issue strictly about Latino's or any other one specific background is wrong.
That's my .2 cents. Hope I used words like "their" properly.
