I can't say I disagree that there is a major problem with illegal aliens unfairly hurting the job market. However, the emphasis should be on supporting the American Worker, or the middle class instead of going after the illegals. Minimum wage, Universal Health Care, Workmen's Compensation changes, supporting small business.
The problem is not the illegal alien, but the companies who are allowed to hire them without penalty. When our government is run by corporations, not the people, this is what happens. Corporate run government is facism. The Republican party is the worst in this respect.
Both parties are responsible, but the Republican party politicians give corporations every thing they want at the expense of the working class. Both parties want to be on the side of illegals to increase their political base, while appearing not to be. This is the problem, not whether Pedro gets a break to feed his family.
This has been allowed to go on for so long that, simplistic Bush like "redneck rhetoric" like "Send them all Back Home" won't work. Our economic system is tied into them like an old open face fishing reel that has backlashed. Its a problem that requires careful untangling, not stupid Bush-like sound bytes and political double talking and Republican fear mongering.
There is one thing that could be done to slow down the new illegals. That is making it a criminal offense for any company executive that hires illegals.
Dry up the money and they will leave. Do any of your really think that any Republican or most democrats for that matter, spoon fed by corporate America are going to pass those sort of laws to protect you and sacrifice their profits?
There just going to pretend they are, and your going to keep voting for the one that scares you the most, as long as Corporations make our laws and keep you focused on such ridiculous issues, based in prejudice not logic, as making English the official language.
