Neal is always complaining about the government requiring hair cutters to be licensed. And he's right: If I want to pay someone to cut my hair, and the person wants to be paid to cut my hair, what business is it of the government's?<br> <br> Well, why doesn't Neal apply the same logic to immigration? If I want to pay someone to mow my lawn, and someone wants to get paid for mowing my lawn, what right does the government have to stop us? We're not hurting anyone. Why should the police power of government use deadly force to stop peaceful transactions such as this?<br> <br> Is it to save American jobs? I thought the job belonged to the employer, Neal? The job doesn't belong the employee seeking government job protection and artificial wage inflation through immigration laws. They work only at the pleasure of the person paying them.<br> <br> Is it because illegal immigrants abuse the welfare system? Well whose fault is that? It's our fault for being the socialists, not the immigrant worker's fault for using the systems we willfully provide. And I'd venture to guess that there are many more willfully unemployed American citizens abusing the welfare system, so why pick on the ones busting their butts to work supporting their families?<br> <br> Illegal immigrants are one of the best examples of capitalists peacefully trading their labor for a better way of life for themselves and their families. They do so in spite of a government standing in their way. It's the greatest current example of hard work leading to a better life, of pulling one's self up by your bootstraps, and the modern conservative movement is just tossing them in the gutter. Neal calls them an "invasion" for "plunder." It's not an "invasion" to barter your labor for money - it's admirable! It's not "plunder" if you work for it.
