    The only, ONLY problem I have with illegal crossings are the security ramifications. Frankly, I don't think the United States has anything to lose by having a Hispanic plurality.
    Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

      We have nothing to lose but the ability to say the short i properly.

          Uncontrolled illegal immigration from Mexico also ensures that that those that do make it over here, legally or illegally, can be perpetually paid slave wages.

          Illegal imigration hurts everything it touches.

            Illegal immigrants being paid far below minimum wage greatly hurts the employment prospects and wage potential of native workers. Why would you ever hire a native worker who you must pay minimum wage to when you could hire an illegal immigrant for $3/hour?

            But regardless of your position on immigration, not guarding the border is still serious. If you're not guarding it, then anyone or anything could get to the other side.

                Oh boy, another immigration thread!

                who doesn't want multiple drug resistant tuberculosis?


                Sadly, there will be no quick fix to Social Security, because the average age of the immigrants coming to the US is 3 years older then the population itself,and of course we'll have to pay them SS if Bush gets his way:
                Many advocates of high immigration argue that it fundamentally changes the nation’s age structure, and is very helpful in solving the problem of an aging society.

                  Actually, a lot of illegal immigrants make "good" money. In Farmington, NY, they were getting $10/hour.

                      The only real scandal here is the perfect illustration that beauracracies tend to value covering their own butts more than doing a good job.
