I hope so. We have close friends in Tucson, and the situation just south of there is horrendous. Tucson isn't exactly swimming in wealth, either, due to the illegal immigrant problem.All that being said, if you think about it, only a couple of generations ago, there was no such thing as illegal immigration. My grandfather came here from England when he was fourteen, after his mother died. There were no restrictions then, even on age! So I understand the desire of immigrants to seek better for themselves; but a big part of the problem is that our government gives them so much free this and that -- so it's like we are inviting them in and then hating them for being here. There needs to be a whole change, not just a border change. tuppence 20 months ago
