I might add, that many are impressed with the Hispanic work ethic, in general. They work their butts off, and do it cheerfully. Amazxing really. That matters to some folks.

I agree. It's too bad they're being used as slave labor and helping in the breakdown of the rule of law and our national sovereignty.

Ambivalence creeping into the psych there a bit EV? Gosh I wish I knew the perfect wise answer about how to handle the working 10 million or so illegal population, on whom the economy has grown dependent. I really wish I did. I have searched for one. I just haven't found it, unlike on some issues, where I think I have. Awareness of ignorance is what really does a body good. It makes one cautious, about precipitous actions.

One other little detail. Without hard working young immigrants, a lot of them, the US would go the way of Germany, with aging greedy geezers suffocating the economy. Which brings up the issue, as to whether the offspring of all these illegals will on balance make good American citizens. I say yes, but then I am not the Rock of Gilbralter, and can't issue an insurance policy quaranteeing it, and indemnifying the losses if the thing goes south. The human experience is an exercise in risk taking. It always has been, always will be.
