And, in addition to your points, the $billions that may flow to Mexico don't stay in Mexico.

Mexicans perform jobs Americans are too proud to do, it seems.

Immigrants are a plus, not a minus (the founder of Intel is not a native American). Conservatives need to put away images of scorn which border on stereotyping bigotry, and embrace positive aspects of this policy.

The fastest way to make new Republicans is to make people prosperous. Don't help DemocRats radicalize components of the citizenry to enslave them (and so, us) in a cycle of false governmental largesse. That cycle requires a perpetual base of left-leaning citizens to ensure perpetuation of the enslavement. Look at the black vote: a solid block of DemcRat supporters, always stuck at the bottom of socioeconomic ladder.

Comprimise is required here. Don't despise: embrace. Elections are won at the center; don't let a pseudocentrist win (Dean) by espousing what seems to be bigotry.

Exactly, but that won't stop the know nothings as they moan and complain as the housekeeper makes their bed as they post their tirades from their hotel room or eat a BLT sandwich.

This creates wage & price distortions. It's basically free-market reaction to the distortions of the tax & regulatory burdens companies face, especially regarding employment.

We hear this a lot-- Rush was spouting this crock yesterday.  

There are plenty Americans ready to wash dishes, pick beans, clean house, if you pay them enough.  I'm not proud-- pay me a couple thousand$/minute and I'll be happy to wash your car.

The "work that Americans won't do" nonsense ignores the existence of the free market.
