The Dems want illegals for potential votes and don't care about anything else. The Repbulicans want illegals for cheap labor which benefits their corporate buddies. Neither party is ever going to do anything serious about this issue because they don't care. They aren't living the lives that we are.
Sorry but Bush has failed us on this issue. He's not going to do anything. I have lived in California my entire life and have watched this state spiral into the sort of decay you see in Tijuana.
This problem will come to a head eventually. In California, Texas or Arizona. 5-10 years down the road, maybe sooner.
Arizona GOP Rep. J.D. Hayworth, in a letter to President Bush, declares that a "balkanization" of the United States must not be allowed and accuses Mexico of acting "more as an accomplice in illegal immigration than a partner in preventing it." The corrupt government of Mexico makes no secret of their Mexican diaspora, "a nation without borders," policy. Both of our political parties know it and approve it. It's all been said before and both Parties laugh because they know there's not a damn thing we can do about it.
My own experience proves emails and phone calls mean absolutely nothing. I will not vote for a president in 2004. That's all I can do.
My current congressman -- not Ose! -- appears to have a good record on this. If he signs Rep. Hayworth's letter I'll vote for him but NO other federal candidate. So Dems get elected? Good. Let the cultural war explode. Let's get it over with.
