    Tell Jamiel Shaw, Sr. that illegals are not the problem.

    OK, to clear this up, if they are working on a work visa, then they are NOT illegal. They are here for a specified time, (and I think for a specific job, but I could be wrong on that.)
    That being said, this is an area that I have very mixed feelings about. Having worked for a number of years, right north of the border, I had much contact with illegals. AND was directly responsible for literally hundreds of them being apprehended and turned over to US Border Patrol for processing. Then came that idiotic court ruling that local law could no longer enforce any immigration laws. . .Talk about politics at its worst.
    Anyway, back to the situation with the illegals, it is not the Mexican people in general that are a problem. It is the ones that are (guess what,) ILLEGAL. What is so hard to understand about that word?
    OTOH, having a lot of contact with these people, both legal and illegal, I sort of came to a different point of view. You all know the arguments already, so I won't go there now. But, I've seen people come over who lived like you and I would never live, to make enough money to keep their families from starving to death. And do it year, after year.
    But, Illegal is still illegal, any way you cut it.

    A release from the LADOT states that the people on the bus are volunteers. Is this new political correctness for illegals?
