What is wrong is that we already have in the neighborhood of 20 million illegals, and a guest worker program would encourage a greater flood.

See my Post 47.

My analysis of the situation is that we are chasing 20 million flies around our back yard and trying to build fences high enough to keep the flies out instead of simply closing the lids of our garbage cans.

Flies won't hang around a closed garbage can and illegal aliens won't hang around a country that stops throwing illegal jobs and legal welfare benefits at them.

No argument there! But the politicians are in collusion with big business, so the penalties on employers have never been enforced!

Also, Polybius, we passed Prop 187 almost a decade ago here in California, denying welfare benefits to non-citizens. MALDEF took the law to court and defeated it!

"Flies won't hang around a closed garbage can and illegal aliens won't hang around a country that stops throwing illegal jobs and legal welfare benefits at them."

Tell me the name of one politician who will be willing to stand up and say, "No more free education in any public school for illegal alien children."
