The recent housing boom was fueled by illegals taking jobs away from skilled tradesmen in home construction. Reduced wages = reduced taxes to Uncle Sam = less money for Homeland Security, Porkulus of the U.S. and the swine in the Congress.
Porkulus of the U.S. needs the illegal vote in 2012, too.
Don't go and refer to the democrat machine as a politically driven entity without concern for country or sovereignty!
That would just be wrong! /s
