#1 Homey doesn't think so. (sorry I lloked for a picture of homey and found only that they are making a Homey the Clown movie - no doubt proving yet again that what is hilarious in a 5 minute sketch isn't always funny for 90 minutes are greater.

#2 There's a phrase for this kind of behaviour;

"He's got more front than Sainsbury's!"

Which translated ;) means - chutzpah, bare faced cheek, gall, insolence, taking the biscuit. You get the idea...

As for not working, the Israeli fence seems to have cut down on undesirables moving through into Israel doesn't it? But illegal immigration also needs to be tackled at the demand side, and that surely means stopping firms hiring illegals (big fines would help here methinks).

#4 It was reported this morning that ICE just raided a meat packing plant in Georgia, stripping out more than half of the 400 employees as illegals. The report didn't mention that production was affected, but I have my suspicions... However slowly and irregularly, people are being caught and shipped back, Tony(UK).

#5 TW, my understanding is that if they are Central or South American they are shipped home, but if they are Mexican, they are released.

#11 illegal immigration also needs to be tackled at the demand side
I agree Tony.
yes we're finally getting the fence, but we do need to make it harder for illegals to move around freely, by enforcing ID checks at work sites, to rent homes, buy vehicles, get insurance just everything! I also would like to see ICE patrol our streets and communities and actually do something. Not have our police do the very frustrating catch and release program.
I had a patient last week that didn't want to go home. Stating that her boss turned her into immigration and that is what made her sick from stress. She was trying to get a restraining order on her boss. My "superiors" were actually trying to get this acomplished for her. Maddening.

#13 TW, that wouldn't have been Gainesville, GA, would it? Home of the nation's largest concentration of chicken farms and (subsequently) hog and poultry processing plants ("from squeal to meal in 30 minutes!"). That town has turned from a small redneck town into a medium sized version of Mexico City almost overnight. I drove through there last year and almost all the signs/billboards along the main drag in town were in Spanish!

#14 Those who defend illegal immigration are immoral. They don't care about the fact that the people who cross the border get robbed, raped, and taken advantage of once they get here. All of the excuses as to why we need illegal immigration (economy would collapse without it; it's work that natives won't do; the brown folk south of the border won't do well unless we put them to work mowing my lawn on the cheap - are all the same justifications that were given for slavery.
