I think conservatives if that is truly what they are have one thing down and that's an immediate knee jerk reaction before they even have time to study what's out there, how it can be dealt with, how to best design it, what is the approach to use, etc. They fly off blasting away at each other and blaming the President or the originator and again won't vote for him/her, donate any money, work in the campaign..... [Example: this poll on amnesty that hasn't even been proposed]

You control the jobs that they can get and you control much of the illegal influx. People can't seem to realize that. About 50% of the illegals came into this country legally with visas and never left. They didn't cross the Southern border illegally as many on this board would like you to believe. About 50% or so of the illegals came from the Americas south of the US Southern border with Mexico having the largest percentage... The next largest group come from East and Southeast Asia.....

"They didn't cross the Southern border illegally as many on this board would like you to believe."

Aprox. 20% of the illegals coming across the Mexican border are Middle Eastern or Asian. This came strait from a conversation with INS border patrol agents I had at Brown Field, San Diego.

They pay big money to be smuggled in here through Mexico.

15 years ago I was offered $1,000/head to fly chinese between 2 private air strips in Mexico (Guadalahara to Mexicalli), I turned it down but someone no doubt didn't.
