I agree with everything you've mentioned.
A few weeks ago some Texas reporter was interviewing illegals just after they'd crossed the border. One guy said he was very anxious to get himself a job because he wanted to get in on Amnesty.
That he was more than six months over the presence deadline for eligibility didn't bother him (apparently even the pre-illegals in Mexico have this irksome problem all worked out).
What really bothered him, he said, was that the trains and buses heading from the south of the country up to the U.S. border were packed, and tickets were becoming expensive.
He was determined to get to America first and to get a job before the millions behind him, because when they get to the U.S. "all the jobs will be taken".
Prepare for an even greater invasion beginning the moment George Bush signs his monstrosity.
Consequently, new measures, without rigid enforcement first, will have the same impression when adopted.
Amongst this massive immigration there is certainly the criminal element and the mouch-proletariate contributing nothing but his progeny, but in the main these people are hardworking gamblers, hoping for a 1000% increase in what they make for their wages and confronted by an economic anvil in their corrupt homeland.
While the cost is idiotic for our nation to take on, I have now rated the branches of the US Government on the Federal and State level as the more criminal when rating the illegal immigrants against the members of both parties.
