How about this? A GOP Congressman suggests checking farm workers against eVerify and the Ag industry goes ballistic. The rich part of this is that these industrial scale farm operations are generally run by Republicans.

This is why I always chuckle a little when people say they vote Republican because they want the immigration issue solved. That's a bit like leaving the coop door wide open for the fox, because "somebody" keeps stealing your chickens..........and you want the fox to catch the culprit.

did anyone ever consider that the immigration problem is not that Mexicans are coming in but that teabaggers are not leaving?

Noon, you're focusing so much on the teabaggers that you're neglecting to make any disparaging remarks about Palin.

You haven't had a change of heart, have you???

But who would welcome them? I doubt they would make it past immigration officers.
