Don’t let those illegal immigrant leave
Aside from the obvious questions about the wisdom of arresting illegal immigrants when they are leaving the country I think that this story indicates something that we often overlook. Many of those we now call illegal immigrants are seasonal workers that use to come work in the US for many years. Obviously seasonal workers aren’t as interesting as a “Problem” or a “Threat” so they are being labeled as Illegal immigrants. The advantage of such labeling, along with arresting them when they are going back home, is that its help people like Duncan Hunter or Lou Dobbs to build a very successful career. And than they argue that immigrant “takes” jobs from US citizens
