>> I, at least, have no problem with individual illegals and progeny of illegals

I do. They're participating in the collective, egregious abuse of the 'Official' U.S. Immigration policies. Nobody I know, however, has issue with the media prescribed motivation of bettering ones life or improving upon the welfare of ones family. A process of natural attrition may strike the best balance of interests; though, not an attractive alternative for those battling the edges of the issue.

>> I do not fault the employers who hire them.

I disagree with you here as well. In this case, the participating businesses provide the payrolls that enable the economic viability of illegal immigration as we know it. Perhaps the government is giving tacit approval for the employment of illegal immigrants through lack of prosecution, but then again, it's still illegal to hire illegal immigrants.

We fail too often to mention the economic support the general consumer provides through indifference. I agree with your other points. And yes, it's illegal insanity!

I don't deny either of your assertions. but they are not the problem. Given the incentives and the lack where they come from, that they would strive to come here is a given. It cannot be held against them because they cannot be expected to do differently. The same thing goes for the employers. So long as the government encourages them to hire the illegals, and it does-by not acting against the practice- then it makes no sense to not hire them because the competition will. There have to be enforced rules on employers down to the suburbanites who hire the lawn care wetbacks to the contractors who hire them to build condominiums and do hurricane cleanup. Without that then you just waste all your emotion to no end. I cannot get mad at the individuals who respond to the incentives offered until they convert to Islam and I fear they will do that at some point. It offers them great power in this society. Then they become personal enemies. Then, of course, it is all too late.
