If you think this incident was ethical, then by extension
robbing any person who is in the country "illegaly" at gunpoint is also morally acceptable and something you condone.

Me, I think the punishment should fit the crime. I dont think the crime of working illegaly is worth that much money, even in fines.

Secondly, I dont see what the problem with any immigrant is, as long as they dont collect govt money. My problem with illegal immigration, is that so many just come to soak taxpayer dollars. Were those people to get in trouble, I would say they deserved it. This man came here for the noble
reason of working to make his own fortune by the sweat of his brow, at whatever work he could do.

But, whether this man ultimatly deserved this kind of punishment or not is highly irrelevant.

The fact remains that a man can have his money taken, simply because he has money, with no proof or even REASONABLE suspicion of any wrongdoing. I can think of no excuse for that level of immorality, probably because there is no excuse possible.

This case does highlight what is wrong with America though.

The nation has lost its morals.

And no, I am not referring to the imbecillic claptrap one might hear O'reily or Coulter talking about.
