I started reading the comments on the Sensenbrenner article in the link you posted, JP, and couldn't stop... there were 61.
This one really tells it like it is; we don't hear this often enough:

Before you comment on illegals try living in the country where they are from (for years, not a weekend) before making any educated guesses as to their living conditions. The facts are undeniable, the lower classes of mexican society and the worst elements of mexican society are being wooed by the almighty dollar, mexican families can survive in southern Mexico, but when they see their neighbors coming home in a 2002 Ford F-150 they figure they can do that too.
They save up all their money, how did they come up with 3.5 to 4.5K a head to have some coyote sneak them across the border? Could it be a JOB? Coyotes do not take pesos, and they don't take checks of american express.
CRIMINALIZE and DEPORT! This Mexican pays taxes too and knows that ONLY criminals jump the fence!
Real people who want to be in this country, like ME, and LOVE this country, we wait our turn at the front door!"
Anyway, I want my boys to grow up AMERICANS! DUTY, GOD, HONOR, COUNTRY, MOM, APPLE PIE! I believe in the idea of America, Illegals believe in sending money back to the real country that they love = MEXICO!"
One of several canards that the President tried to foist on us was the one about "good people just like us" or something to that effect. Oh, really? One third of our prison population is illegal aliens. That is one third out of 11 million and the other two thirds is from our own population of 295 million.
Real nice folk, oh yeah.
