Another reason to have a real border…

March 4th, 2007 by Chris

67 illegal immigrants were found being essentially stored at a house by human smugglers. This is the thing that those (including those in Church leadership) miss when they talk about the importance of how we treat immigrants. Not nearly enough is said about those who take such inhumane advantage of them once they have broken our laws and entered our country. Not nearly as much is said about the coyotes as is said about the business owners (who ought to be arrested for hiring illegals) who pay them low wages. The human smuggling would end if people entered the country illegally were to end (or at least it would mostly end.) Then people could enter the country legally, work legally, and not have to be subject to the inhumanities that exist. On top of that, if the Church were to call on the Mexican government to treat its citizens better, to end the corruption that exists there, then maybe they’d stop having a reason to break our laws by entering our country without proper documentation.

    My sister operates a construction firm in an area known for illegal labor. It is a fact that these businesses do not care about relatively minor fines. Even when (if) caught, they (may) be fined (something).

    But, if you add in the potential for criminal charges for hiring illegals, then the forumla changes. It is already having an impact in this area.
