LOL, Mexicans are the top in the illegal list because they border the US. Common sense buddy. But of course it's not just Mexicans coming into the states illegally. I know PLENTY of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Canadians, Russians, Germans, etc. that are here Illegally.

Our country benefits from cheap labor, that's why the government or big businesses don't care. 

 It's not that Mexicans are special, is just that our government doesn't care. Not just only them, that goes for any illegal immigrant. Even though a hispanic person will get hassled a lot more then anyone else.

 

If you want to blame someone for the illegal immigration issue, start with the government.

No argument there... (none / 0)

The government works for big business and they want to break the back of the American laborer.  By allowing illegal workers they push the effective minimum wage downwards.  How many politicians have had illegal maids?

We need a normal visa policy for Mexicans, let them get work permits, let them register just like every other country does.  It is insane to give a path to citizenship.  They are still illegal.  There are plenty of people more deserving with real skills and abilities who want to become citizens the legal way.

What do we want a country of farm workers and maids serving the wealthy or a country of engineers and scientists building new companies in manufacturing to create real jobs.  This whole immigration issue is an abortion.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
