"I wonder if there would still be such a clamor in support of the amnesty fiasco if the economy was really as bad as the Rats claim, and AMERICAN CITIZENS were actually unable to find jobs? "

It's a point I've brought up, which no one seems to be considering. Take it one step further... eventually, as happens in all economies, there will be a downturn. And jobs will be scarce. What then? A lot of unemployed people + a lot of illegal immigrants seems to be the equivalent of gasoline + matches.

"Take it one step further...there will be a downturn....alot of unemployed people,and a lot of[unemployed]illegal immigrants."I agree.Economic downturns are cyclical.We've been in an unprecedented period of growth and prosperity(contrary to what the dims say),and it's just a matter of time before what u predict happens.Just think of the impact on(already stressed) state and local governments when the newly unemployed begin drawing benefits.What will happen when formerly employed citizens begin competing with illegals for available jobs?

Probably, they won't be illegal by then, and what's the problem? They will qualify for all sorts of govt assistance.
