No matter what, the issue isn't going away and despite what Mexican radicals and the President do to try and normalize illegals, it's still going to blow up real big IMO.
People living in border states know how bad the problem with illegals are, and it will either get taken care of by the government or the people.
I don't see this issue being able to be swept under the rug at all.
Now if Mexico wants to be annexed as a new American state, we can talk.
I don't think that's a very good idea. If this country has a bad case of the liberals now, wait until Mexico stuffs Congress with a few dozen of their crooked politicians.
No way. There will be no talking about that. Mexico has never managed to have anything but a corrupt oligarchy/plutocracy as a government. If they got hold of the American taxpayers monies (any more than they already are through their illegal alien industry) then we would be sucked dry within a year.
There are two problems
1 (if I may quote Marine Inspector)
"Our immigration laws amount to efforts to repeal reality. There is honest work available in the United States for people from Mexico willing to do it. The legal-immigration quotas are unrealistically low."
2 Mexico/Central America. A question I heard a couple of years ago, "Have you ever noticed that there are not 10's of thousands of Canadians swarming over our northern border?" They (Illegals) aren't coming here because 1 we're such warm fuzzy people or 2 they've always dreamed of cleaning our hotel rooms. It's because we have jobs and they don't, and they will keep coming until there are jobs there.
