This post is not surprising...we see this more and more.

The main reason...besides the obvious one of not having a secure border...is found in the system of social entitlement programs and set asides we have now in the US...for ALL people who are here...legal or not..

Look at the fed gov push to funnel out work to small disadvantaged business specifically called 8-A setasides. This program has been in effect for years...and believe me...has been rife with corruption and fraud.

To qualify as an 8-A...you need a certain percentage of minority workers. Now, people are using illegal workers to qualify as minority. Kill two birds with one stone. The workers work minimum or even below market rates...but you the owner get top dollar from the government...you don't even have to be low bidder.

This is what we are saying...combine the social entitlement system in place now with illegal immigration...or even massive unskilled guest worker immigration...and the US is going to have a nightmare on its hands down the road.

Why some conservatives and libertarians cant see this fact is a mystery to me.

The problem (nightmare), you speak of, is not very far down the road. The only discussion, as far as I'm concerned is the form the nightmare will take when the nightmare arrives.

Thanks. I saw it earlier. I'm glad that at least the military are protecting their borders.

I hope they arrest the contractors also...At least terminate their contracts and fine them into bankruptcy.

At the minimum their contracts should be canceled.

No problem. :)

Yeah, at least one branch of the government seems to "get" it.

Neither Herritage nor Sue Brown, spokeswoman for the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Atlanta, could identify the nationalities of those arrested.

Sure they couldn't identify their nationality. I believe that.
