We Would Cast Them Out?

Many of the undocumented are here simply seeking work -- an honorable enough endeavor, one would think. Often they are poor. Yet, here we are targeting this poor class of people who cross our borders because they WANT to work? Are we to tell such people they are the scum of our society simply because they don't have paperwork? Do we really want to come up with all the new legislation we can to drive them out of from among us? Isn't there something else more worthy of our scorn? True, not all the undocument are here simply seeking work -- they come for many reasons -- but many are, indeed, wanting no more than to work. Have we become a society that seeks out and chases away such souls?
