Public Editor: Unlawful work

I think you should run up to Canada, demand work, social services, citizenship for your kids, free healthcare & a US Resource Center to make the whole process easier.

Thank God none is getting hurt from the consumer demand for illegal drugs, or the use of said drugs. I disagree with the idea that the long arm of the law doesn't take the consumer use of drugs very seriously. Local Law Enforcement has so little serious crime to deal with that minor drug cases are often treated like major crimes. Much of the stuff our police focus on isn't given a second thought in big cities. Consumers, however, are the problem. The durg-war deaths in Mexico and here at home are due to consumer demand. As for the whole issue of immigration, it is just another form of class warfare. Poorer Working-class Americans lose.

viewed_valley: Thanks for responding to my article. I’m a Wyoming boy and am not too familiar with the rest of the country. (If you’re going to pick a bubble, Wyoming ain’t so bad!) My article referred to the immigrants in this area and in the agricultural areas of the state only. I only have my own experience of working in the construction trades locally and seeing immigrants working at various places. (I have no idea which if any are illegal or legal.) I have no statistics to back up my belief, that most are here to work. Do have any local statistics or firsthand experience to about local immigrants not wanting to work? It is not my experience and it would be interesting to know. There is so much anger and resentment on this issue; it can sometime blind either side. I don’t like illegal’s taking our jobs, but the way I was raised makes it hard for me to condemn honest work regardless of skin color, nationality or legal residency. I guess I’m like everyone else-blame my parents!
