Its an attention getter that's for sure, but the reality this billboard points to is that those people who are crossing our southern border without our permission are not immigrants. You read all the media hype and the rants, but these folks are not immigrants, have no plans to become Americans, but are simply here for the jobs to make more money then they made in Mexico. Half of the 18 million that are here illegally overstayed their visas that were issued to them. The other half are smuggled in by corporations who pay Mexican smugglers to get them across the border. Anyway, good sign, and keep up the good work. </p>
