While the similarities to slavery are arguable (yet undeniable), all the pieces are in place for an inevitable uprising of a class of people relegated to second-class status. It's either ironic or on purpose that the liberals insistence on ESL and "cultural preservation" in the name of their false god Diversity is actually speeding the process by increasing the scrabbling Hispanics' overall alienation from the mainstream...fodder for the reconquista and Aztlanite radicals eager to foment revolution here. Yes, they're a minority in their minority but they have the advantage of building on lies the Mexican government has already drilled into their children during their scant education.

Meanwhile the well-off citizenry using this subclass to unfairly and illegally gain profit over their more ethical competitors blithely overlook how the "help" is living in overcrowded squalor and receptive to the radical seething as well. As the author of the article pointed out, there will never be enough foreigners to slake the never ending pursuit for bottom-dollar labor in an environment without enforcement - especially when its driven by a boardroom culture that shuns longterm strategies for quarterly profits. At least the "robber barons" of a previous era had an eye toward improving the lot of the commoners with some of their earnings (Carnegie, Vanderbilt, etc.); this modern bunch won't let a dime slip unless there's a tax break or an ego trip involved. Part of that is resentment over unfair taxation but giving scads of funding to one's oppressors strikes me as a funny way to protest.

Nowadays it seems that the commoners' lot is supposed to be locked out of ever improving itself: wage stagnation, off-shoring and the replacement of citizens with imported workers combined with retarded technological development due to the backward dependence on stoop labor does not bode well for our future in the emerging global interdependent economy. Driving the middle class taxpayers to poverty equals feudalism - a nation eventually just as stagnant and ethically impoverished as Mexico today. Keep looking the other way and tell yourself that the corruption the illegals bring to every aspect to our society isn't corroding its very foundation.

I regret that so many yahoos have jumped on the bandwagon with their hate packages, but the bottom line remains that the current laws have to be enforced NOW before they never can be. Politically correct claptrap from the Wall Street Journal be damned - they lost all credibility the moment they promoted profit over sovereignty, false prophets of profit over everything else worthwhile in life. The illegal aliens - the hardworking financial refugees of their respective countries - need to be in those countries helping build infrastructure, stable government and viable economies worthy of our respect...not here dragging down ours while helping shore up their home countries with remittance funds (money never again circulated in our economy if you don't count the drug trade). A crackdown like our House just passed is a critical boon for the future of Mexico and satellite countries overdependent on their purposely displaced expatriates' Wells Fargo transfers.

Getting tough now is comparable to removing the dead toe before the gangrene spreads to the rest of the body. Failing to be strong (blanching over the inevitable bad press, protests, racist accusations and business pressure) sets a path toward America's eventual impotence as a 2nd rate country. Being strong enough to weather the press's scorn and their master's threats is far more preferable than the chaos that will result if we continue as we have. It must be done.
