Review: The reason this administration has backed-off on work site and interior enforcement is because they know it is the most effective way to curtail illegal immigration. No jobs, no way to support yourself or your family, far fewer illegals, plain and simple. Also, the myth that they are doing jobs Americans won't do, well, pay Americans a fair wage for undesirable and difficult work (like we use to do) and I think you would be surprised at how many applicants you would have. I am upper middle class and have worked at a car wash, a gas station, and was turned down for a janitorial position in my younger years. I was happy to get hired and do the work in those positions. Illegal immigration is the 21st Century's version of the 18th Century slave trade and there will be a heavy price to pay somewhere down the road. We should all be ashamed of ourselves.

Review: Some people seem to have the illusion that the taxes illegal aliens allegedly pay offset their costs to our society. First of all, illegal immigration is and should remain ILLEGAL. Secondly, the cost of educating, medicating, and incarcerating a group of approximately 20 million people cannot possibly be offset by taxes paid on minimum wage jobs (although most work under the table and don't pay any payroll taxes). This is especially true when considering that illegals send back remittances to Mexico to the tune of $15-20 BILLION every year, Mexico's second source of foreign income. The myth that illegal aliens are paying their way is clearly debunked. Anyone who believes otherwise isn't concerned with the facts or reality.
