Who said drugs are fine? Please re-read my position if you're referring to my stance on the drug issue.
If they aren't bothering anyone, then why is anything they're doing illegal?
Some laws are bad, and need to be changed.
Any law which criminalized good-willed people who are causing no harm is a bad law.
I mean immediate physical harm. Like terrorism. Not hypothetical harm like, "They're taking our jobs."
I mean... if you applied for a job and didn't get the job because an illegal immigrant negotiated a lower wage than you (even if your negotiated wage was the legal minimum), then I'll pay attention. Otherwise, I don't see any evidence that the jobs they're working have a huge drawing power to Americans. Even if they are... I blame minimum wage for altering Americans' freedom to negotiate a lower, competitive wage for those jobs.
