"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."--C.S. Lewis

Roundup?
Driving home from the gym tonight, the wife and I noticed what appeared to be a major roundup of illegal aliens - probably twenty or so - cuffed and sitting in a row along "the boulevard". It's interesting because Kansas City has actually established a sort of safe-house for "day workers" complete with kitchen, bathrooms and telephones; not sure how it's funded. The police even have a little office inside. I'll try to post a picture tomarrow showing the "day workers" waiting to be picked up by contractors.
Note: I personally don't have any problem with Latinos coming to the US to work or live , I just want it to be done in an orderly and lawful fashion. Right now, it's chaos. Given the national security issues involved, a porous border is simply irresponsible.
Side note: I once asked an "undocumented worker" how he managed to get to Kanasas City from the Texas border. He said he hitched a ride on a freight train. I was curious how he did it so I inquired as to where on the box-car he hid while riding on the train. He said that the preferred method of train-travel was to break into an auto-carrier and gain entrance to a new luxury automobile contained therein because the keys are always in the ignition. From that point on, it's a comfy ride with AC/heat, stereo and reclining leather seats. I can't vouch for the veracity of this story but sounds perfectly plausible to me. New cars would have to be shipped unlocked with gas in the tank and a key in the ignition so that they could be unloaded from the carrier when they reached their final destination. I just smiled and shook my head in utter amazement.
