Why the hell do we keep letting these people in the country?
Political correctness.
It'll be the death of us.
I trend along the lines of problem-reaction-solution..... it's pretty apparent that big gov't. is all about helping to create a problem, allow it to fester and grow, at which point the citizens will demand a solution then the fed's coming riding in with the answer. This allows those in power to gain more and it's usually at the expense of citizenry privacy or more $.
My guess in this case it will hasten calls for some type of national ID to help track all the foreigners (legal and illegal) and guess what.......Congress has already passed and has waiting the Real ID Act which is due for implementation in 2008.
