first, it would cost tens of billions to round them up and deport them,
second, they are paying SS on stolen or invalid numbers so the $10 BILLION they put into the pot is skimmed offby greedy politicians since there is no real way to account for the money (think of it, you work at the SS administration and you get in a check for an invalid number, what do you do with it?),
third, there is the matter of a labor shortage for unskilled workers, people now think that is beneath them to have to take a job cleaning hotel rooms or flipping burgers or doing farm work
I am sure there are other problems with dealing with illegal immigrations that I haven't thought of. Don't get me wrong, I believe that illegal immigration is a very serious problem, but I also do not believe that Bush is the elitist you have him to be.
Such a simple mind... sounds like you have been reading the NYT. The answer is incredibly simple ENFORCE THE LAW!!! If you take away the benefits and penalize the employers for hiring illegals you wont have to round them up and deport them they will leave on their own. Many studies have concluded that the idea that Americans are unwilling to work low paying jobs is false. Maybe you should question what you hear dont assume just because Bush is for it that its good. Bush is an eletist (from MA no less) and could care less about the working man.
