We are making SLAVES out of illegal immigrants! If they would come in legally they would have alot more rights.

AMEN!!!!! If I had my way about they'd all be shipped back, only be allowed to have a work Visa and paying taxes on those dollars earned, not be allowed to drop out their kids and then have them become citizens and their parentes DAMN sure wouldnt stay. ANd if it was necessary to use deadly force to keep them over there, it woudl happen!

If you don't believe this, do a little research on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

They don't want to lose that cheap labor. If they wanted to do something about illegal immigration, wouldn't they have done something like thirty years ago when the influx started?

I doubt this is a formal policy, but its more like benign neglect. Perhaps not so benign

It would be more correct to say that certain groups within the government desire illegal immigration. The cheap labor fuels the greed machine of their corporate cronies. American citizens struggling to make ends meet be dammed!

No matter how slimy the trade deal or the proposed legislation, if it benefits business, no matter how small the benefit, and lessens the bargaining capability of American labor, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce will be all over it like a cheap whore over a wealthy man who accidentally strolled into their 'hood.

I think that both parties are equally guilty of seeing the problem as a pool of potential votes AND to help businesses, large and small. In this case, I see absolutely no difference between the two.

Democrats want the illegal migrants here for the votes; Republicans want them here for agri-business and other industries. Individuals in both parties who are on board with the whole "new world order" thing and the "AU" want them here as well. A complete betrayal of their oaths.

UPDATE: "Cheap labor is essential..." Factor in the costs of higher insurance costs, higher taxes, the costs of incarcerating these illegals, the costs of educating their children, the fact that most of them pay no federal income taxes, etc...and tell me that this is offset by "cheap lettuce".

Cheap labor is an essential part of the equation that equals national prosperity. It's been that way since the country's founding, and it's not changing any time soon. As each group becomes integrated into society, another takes its place at the bottom: for the last several decades it's been cheap labor from south of the border.

It's business, whether the government is behind it or not you can be sure big business likes cheap labor. Also, it's true that some jobs are hard to fill with those other than immigrants.

Sad but true,our so-called "homeland security" would rather risk a few terrosists disguised as Mexicans than tell the corporations to stop hiring cheap labor.So much for our alleged safety,and so much for employment opportunities for those born here or who went through the trouble to be naturalized.The usual BS from the Bush Bunch.

Fact is, illegal immigration would end tomorrow if no jobs were available. And no jobs would be available if there were mandatory jail sentences for employers who knowingly hired illegals, and mandatory fines for anybody who hired them negligently.

I'm not saying I would support such a measure. But if anybody was serious about ending illegal immigration, this is the step that would be taken.

The question of immigration is about economics to an extent. Construction and manufacturing firms especially tend to support loose immigration policies during times of high economic growth because they need plenty of labor that goes cheap in the market. Only when economies slow down is that immigration starts slowing down, not only because people stop coming due to a lack of jobs, but that the government starts cracking down on illegals because of the occasional strain that high unemployment puts on local governments.

About as difficult to understand as this formula: "Dirt+Water=Mud". . .when in doubt, follow the money trail. . .

Look at Clifornia for example. It saturated with Mexicans which are willing to work for $2 an hour. Any employer would rather take that than pay a mighty dollar to an American or other legal resident. It's sad but at the same time it makes logic.
