Of course, we've got plenty of fine, upstanding, American-born drug dealers, criminals, and terrorists here, as well. I never really understand the assumption that the bulk of the people who will cross the border are from these 3 sociopathic groups. I imagine they comprise the same percentage in just about any population. Most people, though, just want to make a better life for their families, like you and me, and like our great-grandparents did when they came to this country.
