This is true. Let us then, develop a system in which these workers can become part of it. There is a certain hypocrisy in our country's leadership, one that wishes to make them felons, but at the same time relies on undocumented workers for the economy. Why didn't INS go and deport them all? That would piss a lot of people off, including conservative, republican employers. INS is, um, selective in who they go after. With many undocumented workers, its like the gay military "solution"-don't ask, don't tell. But everyone knows the deal. Blaming immigrants for our problems is age old political scapegoating.
Oh, and I like fixed gear bikes. Do you?
