"Yes I do, the fences will go up"

I don't. The idea has been so badly sold that it will die. The folks arguing for a wall have failed to link it with a comprehensive plan for dealing with future immigration and what to do about the illegals already here that it will only be used as a means for arguing that we are all a bunch of racists.

It use to be, but we are being balkanized because we are not strong enough in demanding we maintain a unified country and culture.

The country's balkanizing because we're being overwhelmed. Political correctness doesn't help either but immigration at moderate levels would diminish its effects somewhat.

In the eighties we took in approximately 500,000 annually and it didn't seem to be a problem. It was Ted Kennedy's 1990 Immigration Act that doubled quotas plus a complete lack of enforcement at the borders that has brought about this crisis.

The only way to solve it is by bringing the numbers back down to reasonable, traditional levels and some businesses need for janitors will have to take a back seat.
