Plus an incompetent Congress that has it’s head in the sand and it’s hand in the money spending cookie jar.

That, and the racists (and their puppet politicians) can't allow anything to be done about illegal immigration because voters might then start noticing that "legal" immigration ain't so hot for the economy either.

The wide-open-door we've been living with since the nutjobs elected back in 1964 gave us the execrable immigration bill of 1965, has become more of an economic drag than illegal immigration.

We know all about the bogus "But then who will pick the lettuce?" argument. A sane policy on both "legal" (a la Canada) and illegal (a la Mexico) immigration is FAR overdue.
