Illegal immigrants are here to stay
Suppose you learn that a new england manufacturer is exploiting its employees, many of them illegal immigrants, with wretched working conditions.It fines them for talking on the job, refuses to pay overtime, and penalizes them for bathroom breaks of more than two minutes, all in addition to low wages, long hours, and squalid facilities.What do you do?

Well, if you're the united states government, you send armed agents to haul the workers off in shackles to a military base 100 miles away, then fly scores of them more than 2, 000 miles to a holding pen in texas.You provide the frightened detainees with little information and no access to lawyers.You act so rashly that many of those you seize are separated from their children and can't get word to spouses or babysitters.You display such ineptitude, in fact, that babies end up in the hospital, dehydrated, after their nursing mothers are taken away.

That pretty much sums up last week's federal immigration raid on michael bianco inc., a leathergoods factory in New Bedford, which has been deservedly condemned as a humanitarian fiasco.But it is more than that.It is also an object lesson in the incoherence of american immigration policy, and in the harm being caused by the national obsession with, and hostility toward, illegal immigrants.

Immigration hardliners wax wroth at any suggestion that illegal aliens be given some way to come out of the shadows and legalize their status.Every such proposal they reject scornfully as"Amnesty. "Illegal aliens are criminals, they fume.Such people should be deported, not rewarded.

But no one this side of the fever swamps really believes that 12 million people the population of pennsylvania can be rounded up and expelled.The raid in new bedford involved just 361, and look what a botch was made of that.To deport 33, 000 times that number would require the iron fist of a stalin.No sane american would tolerate it.

Ah, but mass expulsions aren't necessary, some hardliners say.Cracking down on just a few thousand illegal immigrants, or maybe a few dozen thousand, would"Persuade more and more of them to give up and deport themselves,"Claims mark krikorian, executive director of the center for immigration studies.He estimates that 6 million illegal immigrants would pick up and leave if only"The government summoned the gumption to stand up to the elite interests that support open borders. "

But immigrants who braved daunting risks to be here, many of whom already live in perpetual fear of being caught and deported, will not pack their bags quite so readily.They are here to stay working, raising families, living among us.Doesn't it behoove us to figure out a way to assimilate them into the national mainstream, instead of consigning them to a permanent limbo that does neither them nor us any good?

To say that, though, is to run smack into the chief impediment to sensible thought about illegal immigrants:The fixation on their status as violators of the law. "What part of 'illegal' don't you understand? "Sealtheborder types demand in high dudgeon, as though the fact that many immigrants break the law to come here is all we need to know about them.

Is it?Or is it at least as important to know why they come?And how they act once they're here?And whether americans benefit from their presence?

If tens of millions of drivers consistently break the interstate speed limit, do we assume that they are all criminals who should lose their licenses and be banned from the highways?No:A more plausible explanation is that the speed limit is too low for safe highway driving and ought to be raised.By the same token, if hundreds of thousands of immigrants come here illegally each year, is it realistic to conclude that we have a massive crime problem for which a ferocious crackdown is the only solution?Perhaps it is the case instead that america's immigration quotas are simply too low for the world's most dynamic economy. And perhaps the persistent influx of industrious workers isNot a plague to be cursed, but a blessing to be better managed.

I have never, ever seen them at discount stores.Jjb is pretty picky on who they let sell their stuff.I would guess that the best you could do would be to check their website for local stores that carry them, and then call the stores and see if they have any of the old discontinued patterns left.Unfortunately, most stores sell out of them well before something is discontinued, so i don't think you're going to have any luck finding a discounted new bag.Most retailers don't even let you use coupons/coupon codes for jjb bags.Also, there is a user on there(Teri965 i think)That owns on online boutique called mamas and munchkins.She will post discounted bags every so often.They are usually around 15% off.I was looking at one of her belights, and it was going to be $30, shipped.If you have any concerns about your own health or the health of your child, you should always consult with a physician or other healthcare professional.Please review the Pandora Charms UK privacy policy and terms of use before using this site.Your use of the site indicates your agreement to be bound by the terms of use.
