They all do. Many of them are anchor babies/Dreamies waiting on amnesty for their breeders and the opportunity to chain migrate their millions of famila that they left behind.

Whether Obama or McCain is selected I have a feeling that once they institute their agenda of shoving amnesty down our throats every 3rd world hell hole on the planet will open every door, window and jail cell to gift us with their unwanted, dysfunctional garbage.

A while ago, some people suggested we allow immigration based on needs of the country (example: preference to highly qualified people like engineers who were in short supply); they also wanted to drastically reduce quotas for relatives (of existing immigrants) to come over. Many of the relatives brought over are often a burden to US. However, most politicians - more dems like Kennedy and some reps - did not agree with this, for obvious reasons. So, immigration, for better or worse, is less diverse than it could be.
US now lets in far more people based on quotas for relatives than for US needs. Many potential highly-qualified legals have to wait years to get a green card. But, if you were an illegal when Regan pardoned everyone, you were given one immediately. Bush also wanted another round of amnesty. Notice that both Dem & Rep names come up. Both parties need to get election money from the corporations who want cheap labor, and hence we are screwed.

Now really, would an educated, wealthy Mexican coming here on a Visa to work a job as a Programmer give one rat butt flying patoot about some uneducated, impoverished Illegal Alien standing outside home dump?

If the Government wanted to do something, it would have done so already. Look how fast they reacted to Iraq. But wait a minute-- the majority if the people on this board are NOT blaming the Government. They're blaming illegals. That's like blaming a random kid for some man's actions. After all, how many articles are there criticizing the Government of their irrisponsibility to enforce our borders? How many articles are there criticizing Mexico and illegal aliens?

If you help someone bury a body you commit a crime too.

Not true-most of us on this board do blame the government-as well as greedy corporations and illegal aliens. Just because our government and greedy corporations are in the wrong-illegals should get a free pass? I don't think so. Regardless of anything else-illegal aliens are in the wrong. They know they are wrong. There is no justifucation for their illegal behavior-NONE. They are not innocent victims. They come here illegally of their own free will and in many cases commit ID theft or fraud-again of their own free will.

I blame the Govt 1st and the businesses that hire 2nd, the Illegal Aliens 3rd and the enablers 4th.

The first amnesty started this sham. For that I blame the Govt, the big help wanted (at all cost to American workers) sign needs to come down.

Just how many articles on this board are there accusing the Government of not enforcing our borders? How many articles are there blaming illegal immigrants?
