Mr. Badillo seems to think we need to "recognize" the 12 million-plus illegal immigrants, some of whom march in this country while waving the Mexican flag, in total defiance of our laws. It is nearly impossible to deal with a foreign government who sets up classes teaching their citizens the best technique to sneak into the United States, avoid detection, get hired by companies who also disregard our laws, telling them the methods to obtain false ID's, free medical care and Social Security payments and all the welfare benefits available in this compassionate country. The illegal workers contribution to their homeland is the second largest source of income for the Mexicqn government. Why would they want to change that?
And then some over-zealous prosecutor sends two border agents to prison for doing their job, while a drug runner gets "immunity" from all charges, and will probably be compensated for getting shot in the rear. Something ain't right with this picture, fellas.
