Calm down.

People cannot seem to wrap their mind around a fact.

The phrase "Illegals do the job that other Americans won't" is not false for the reason they think.

The correct phrase is "There are too few working age Americans to do the work Illegals are doing".

Something has to be done in general, but you must not find yourself spiraling into mathematical denial. The most important force in America is Demographics. The ageing of the population is what it is. There Are Not Enough Working Age Americans To Do All The Work That Needs Doing.

But . . . something needs to be done. Do a better job of border control. Bush has increased the numbers in the Border Patrol. If the border is secure, that stops the influx. Lots of good things come from that. Those already in the US can't go home to visit if their parents die and there is a funeral. Things like that are powerful.

Those who have been in the US for 25 yrs and have 3 kids aged 14, 17 and 22 who are all US citizens with the oldest a West Point grad . . . you can't toss that guy. He's made a solid contribution.

Let's worry about those in the country later. Secure the border. Bush has improved over his predecessors in that. He can improve further.

I agree.

You do not need to dig ditches by hand. Technology works; there is no shortage of labor that would justify such reckless behavior.

So did Timmy McVeigh, a bronze star recipient. Criminal acts are criminal acts.

There is in my state. So, is it okay with you if we evict the illegal aliens?

Sadly, it's the federal government's job, Bush's in particular. From the beginning he put out an informal welcome mat and now we are suffering an infusion of inchoate socialism and Cesar Chavez radicalism of unprecedented magnitiude.

This will not save the country. It will destroy it, rip it from stem to stern.

If that were true then black unemployment numbers would be at 2% - which they are not.
