>>I don't know.....the immigration issue is a part of a much bigger issue and that would be the path of socialism that this country is on.<<
I don't want to minimize that issue - its real. But we have been closer to socialism in the past and today we have the failure of the Soviet Union and transformation of China as lessons. That won't stop socialism threats - look at Venezuela and Bolivia but I am nonetheless optimistic.

"But we have been closer to socialism"
When? When have we ever in the past given entitlements to illegal immigrants? When have we been at a cross roads (as we are now) where soon the minority will be paying all the taxes and a majority will be getting handouts? When has vote buying via entitlements, tax loopholes and the number of lobbyist on K street been this high?
The social welfare program (boondoggle) is 40 years old and that is the true beginning of the end.
