I'm not in any hurry, you might as well read the whole thing.

Thanks, now then. I have to give Glen Beck some credit, I have used the exact argument that he forsakes. I, too, thought that there were jobs that many of us wouldn't do. I know that I wouldn't go out and pick grapes. On the flip side, I agree (and have for years) that the immigration process is too difficult and lengthy and needs to be fixed. I also think that when these workers are made legal citizens we will be forced to pay them a decent wage which would make them more competitive consumers and make those out-of-work Americans who would do the jobs for higher pay a more competitive labor source.


Instead of putting up a fence on the border, we should be tearing down the wall of bureaucracy that is mortared with red tape.
