Reply #14: Why do so many Dems sympathize with illegal immigrants?

[dolstein]

Is it because they're afraid of pissing off the Hispanic community? Funny, but I would think that Hispanics who are in this country legally would have just as much to lose from illegal immigration as anyone else.

Personally, I think anyone who enters the country ought to be deported, and that we ought to impose a tarriff on products coming in from Mexico in order to offset the cost of enforcing our immigration laws. Mexico ought to be policing its own border -- they shouldn't be able to shift the cost onto the American taxpayer.
