Undocumented immigrants deserve our compassion

This posting is a response to a bunch of people commenting on a Deseret News post, calling undocumented immigrants "not dignified," among other things:

You people are sick! I could care less if you guys were racist or not, but I'm sure most if not all of you don't have any close minority friends. In order to fix the immigration problem, we need trade reform. Yes I know it was Clinton that signed NAFTA into law, but that was because he was quite conservative economically. It's your culture of spending that encourages our corporations to go across the border to exploit those people, yet you barely see a fraction of the lowered cost that those greedy corporations, who stole jobs from this country, are hording.

Our nation could have a tremendous impact on the economic well being of these people by refusing to trade with their nations if they fail to reform their wage and labor laws. This is also the only way to achieve any real, cost effective immigration reform. All our increasing security at the border has done, besides cost the tax payer a ton, is force the immigrants to cross in more dangerous areas and stay permanently, exacerbating the increased social burden you people worry so much about. Maybe you should have compassion on these HUMAN BEINGS!
