All murderers, car thieves, tax evaders and jaywalkers are doing wrong is breaking a law. The law that illegal immigrants are breaking happens to be an important one. It's a law that's designed to protect America's sovereignty. The most basic requirement for a sovereign nation - and hell, when push comes to shove, the ONLY requirement for a sovereign nation - is recognized borders. With that in mind, I don't take it lightly when people choose to ignore our immigration laws.

It wasn't all that long ago that American cars were built in America by American citizens. Oddly enough, these cars were sold by dealerships for much less than $100,000. If getting kicked out of Mexico means that Ford has to sell a $20,000 - $30,000 car for $100,000 in order to remain profitible, it tells me that there are serious problems within the company that have nothing to do with foreign labor.
