Jacoby closing statement

In her closing remarks, Jacoby argues that the U.S. needs to recognize the reality of illegal immigration and handle it in a responsible and beneficial way. Immigrants are not the problem; they are good people and good for the country. The problem has been our response. We must create a system that minimizes the costs, maximizes the benefits, and allows us to continue competing in the global economy.

The elites of the US and Mexico are the ones who are benefiting from this situation.

Mexico's assets have been handed out to a handful of the wealthiest people at the top. "The Right to Stay Home" by Global Exchange covers who destroyed Mexico's economy and who benefits.

They have another great online publication called "How the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Undermine Democracy and Erode Human Rights: Five Case Studies"

America is very hypocititcal

[MarcusCMarcellus]

Useless neoconservative ideologue. She essentially says the left is right, completely, except for the "ideology" Americans now have. For the neocons, the problem is never concrete physical reality but ideology. Iraq can be remade if they change their ideology; every Mexican can be an American - even if America became 99% non-white, no problem, so long as they have the right ideology.

People like Jacoby is why the GOP is doomed.

rjsmitty- No she is not. This is one of these FAR LEFT NUTS (just like the far are nuts) that wants anarchy. They believe that non-assimilation into the USA is good. They also believe anyone should be allowed to come in without permission and there should be no border. Thats what these people believe.

"immigrants"? If we where talking about immigrants we would not be having a issue would we? The issue is ILLEGAL aliens. Over 2 million LEGAL immigrants come into the USA. These are not the people we are talking about. That appears to be something this woman can not get. Its a balance act. Allowing those that followed the laws and are good people to come in and ASSIMILATE into the USA while keeping with the fact that we are a country-a country is defined by its borders.
