I was listening to Laura Ingram on the way to dinner last night and she had absolutely NO response when her guest George Wills said that there are more illegals here now than 20 years ago, and America is a safer place: ergo Illegals are great for the US.

BTW, Rush Limbaugh went into the posted article in some length on his show today.
