On the one hand you want a moderate immigration rate, as we’ve long had, to separate the wheat from the chaff. This has been going on since the mayflower landed. The irish, southern europeans, vietnamese, cambodians, cubans, haitians, koreans, russians, iraqis; the list goes on and on as america has become a “world country” with every ethnic group represented.
But this mexican invasion is more akin to the muriel boat lift in which castro did a toxic waste dump on us. The mexican government is dumping all their unwanted trash on us. If you allow this amnesty(hey mice, come in and STEAL)then the entire third world will come right in after them. That can mean 2 BILLION poor, starving beggers dumped on your doorstep, can YOU house them?
So tester’s and baucus’s political future is on the line right now. Although we in Montana haven’t been flooded as bad as southern border states, we see the invasion for what it is : a direct threat to all of us. Graham-SC isn’t the only one going down in flames over this, watch what happens in Montana as well....
You see very few Mexican Professionals, business persons or people with money coming to the US illegally, they have it good in Mexico and are doing fine, and have a poor lower class to be at their beck and call for a few pesos.
