That I agree with 100%. And legal vs right is something I also won't argue. Laws need to change to fix the problem moving forward, but that doesn't address the people who broke the laws in the first place. Gay marriage is an example. If some town clerk breaks the law to issue a license in an area that it isn't legal (not even sure if there are laws against issuing the license, but you get my drift), then the clerk should be punished with the penalty for breaking that law, but gay marriage should be legal, and hopefully will be everywhere eventually.
True motives are hard to determine, though many of the minutemen are probably racist, but the facts are the facts as far as which country makes up the biggest part of the illegal immigration pie. And targeting that country and the obviously porous border with that country seems to be a logical choice.

I think our immigration laws are wrongheaded
