One has to wonder what purpose the distortions serve.
The Democrats, especially after 9/11 and Bush's successess, identified "Illegal Immigration" as an achilles heel to divide the Conservative base and subvert his significant "national security" advantage.
You've been around here a while ... were these Illegal Immigration warriors working these programs during the Clinton reign, when the REAL ABUSES were happening? Or did they appear from nowhere sometime after the Bush presidency, and especially after Bush's popularity as a post 9-11 "protector/leader"? I think I know.
It's just anti-Bush, anti-GOP agitprop fomented by operatives who are easily exploiting the ugly nativist/xenophobic/enconomic fear, uncertainty and doubt of willing participants.
Beyond distortions, they are really working against the stated goals of the forum, much as those calumniators do against President Bush when they attack a valid religion.
