After reading much of this thread I almost feel like doing a Sneaky Pete and just abandoning it. If a conservative web site is full of people willing to sell out American for cheap labor, I think the country is truly surely dead. It just hasn't been buried yet.

Amen bro. Sometimes, I feel like packing it in. A country that won't even protect its borders in wartime won't last long, nor, perhaps, should it.

Good grief..

The sky is NOT falling chicken littles.. Granted, illegal immigration is a problem, but its far from being a major threat. -- Yet.

Do you guy's REALLY believe the security of the USA is compromised by a few million Mexican illegals working here? Get a grip.

I don't think it's so much the working that's the threat --- it's the voting --- Mexico is filled with Socialists -- it has a 70% unionization rate -- compared with ours about 10%, there are no Conservative or Libertarian political parties in Mexico --- there are many parties but all are Socialist and Communist. It's the extreme poverty -- the lack of respect for education --- which leads to a very high drop-out rate and and gangs and criminality, the dependency on government. The refusal by so many to learn the langugage of this country or it's history and culture.

It's also the loss of sovereignty of our country --- the Mexican government seems to believe it has quite a lot of say in our laws, it's been given the authority to set up a separate Identification system and control over the border.

Also --- massive migration of it's people out of the country is actually worsening conditions in Mexico --- we don't need such an unstable neighbor -- we need things to move the other direction --- they are becoming completely parasitic --- totally dependent on the dollars being wired back every month, and on NAFTA cheap-labor jobs besides the money obtained by the drug cartels.

The flooding of our country with the cheapest possible labor works against the natural balance --- wages go up only when a labor shortage makes corporations compete for labor --- higher wages and benefits like health insurance are offered to attract labor -- or else they go up with unionization and violence. Huge pools of illiterate cheap labor brings wages down to a level that pushes more government handouts --- the illegals might bring over 8 or 9 children, agree to work for $4 an hour --- but they are not able to support their families on those wages, they are not able to afford their own health care or much else.
