14. So illegal immigrants are ok, but allowing legal Mexicans in accordance with a treaty
to which we are a signatory is not ok?

Got it.

By the way, how exactly are these Mexican trucks "unsafe?" Are they not subject to the same laws as US trucks when they are on US highways? Will they not stop in the same weigh stations and be put out of service, just like US trucks will for violations?

- Those truckers are just trying to make better lives for their families.
- We're all humans; why do we allow ourselves to be ruled by red and blue lines on a map?
- They're only doing jobs Americans won't do. (See recent news articles re: shortage of truckers.)


See? All of the arguments that work so well in supporting illegal immigration work just as well to support legal workers who are coming here within the framework of the law.

Why are illegals fine, but legal workers are not? Personally, I'd rather workers come here legally.
