I was born and raised in Utah from 1950's to 1987 when I left after graduating from U of U. I grew up in northern Utah working with migrant workers picking cherries. The migrant workers who picked cherries were "migrant workers", not "illegal immigrants". The migrant workers lived by the cherry orchards in shacks supplied by the orchard owner. They worked hard and at least I went to a home with running water, electricity, etc. They didn't have that but they appeared to be happy to be making a living. I remember that in those days a dishwashing job paid ninety cents an hour at rural truck stop restaurant. I know because I worked there after the cherry orchards. I admire the incentives for hard work...much like the LDS. I also see the importation of labor an end to a means...to convert more Latinos to the CHURCH and extend its influence into Latin American. I know this, because I worked for the CHURCH in Salt Lake City while attending U of U. It's unfortunate that the state of Utah is becoming a "sanctuary state for illegals". Someday, I may return to live in Utah for the skiing.

These illegal alien Mexicans think they are entitled to everything american citizens are. They are not!! They have no right to be here, to work here and no right to drive our roads and highways. They do have a right to be arrested, incarcerated and deported. If they don't like it they can pack up and leave. We don't want them here now or ever.
