You originally and again pinpointed the Bush administration as the one that won't enforce immigration laws, yet you cited the 1986 amnesty as a prime cause of the problem. That was on Reagan's watch

Bush is a legitimate target right now because he is doing absolutely nothing about the border and is, in fact, enabling and encouraging more to come with his attitude. Reagan is long gone and I was a disinterested teenager during his presidency. I had no idea the implications of the Amnesty program. I was too interested in football, homecoming games, dates, and who was going to buy beer for me.

Bush Jr. is leaning towards an amnesty program as well----I am old enough to vote and pay taxes now so I will direct my anger and point the blame to the current administration.

Otherwise it's as I said, you're doing the work of a DU infiltrator.

Yawn....okay! Reagan is to blame as well. Satisfied? But Reagan is retired now and venting my anger towards him does absolutely nothing. George Bush is in power now and can do something about it.....but he cares too much about those big campaign donations he'll lose from businesses that employ illegals.

The INS and other government policies that don't strictly enforce immigration laws greatly harm legal immigrants, especially those with Hispanic surnames. The justifiable discrimination against illegals spreads itself on legals or citizens with similar ethnic or cultural backgrounds because of the perception that "they're all the same" when they're not.

Agreed.

They tend to maintain the political loyalties toward the democratic party when THAT is who keeps them oppressed by denying proper sewer, drainage, roads, and all kinds of other services their "Anglo" citizen counterparts fully expect to enjoy

Ever heard of the municipality Crystal City, Texas? The city council bankrupted the city because they decided that their citizens "deserved" running water, sewage, and paved roads and they overspent their resources. My grandmother is still alive and she didn't grow up with sewage and running water. Why should anyone, regardless of race, expect these amenities? There are still many places in the US that have 'outhouses'.

Because they're painted with the same brush, and their origins are often similar, the legitimate ones are generally sympatico with the illegitimate ones thanks in GREAT part to people who can't tell the difference and don't want to learn.

I don't know of any legal immigrants that are sympathetic to illegal aliens (as you claim). The legal immigrants I know, in fact, resent illegal immigrants.

Are you part of that latter group if you're not a DU infiltrator?

You caught me. I'm a DU infiltrator.

Yep......and he also cares about the new voters he naively believes will become GOPers after he grants them amnesty. ......And he cares about the political backlash of taking the extraordinarily politically incorrect and so-called "racist" step of securing the borders against ALL illegals (not just Mexicans).
