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.
The trouble is that the US has been killing off future American taxpayers in abortion facilities across the US. Those who favor compassion for illegals do so because the see it as a way of resuscitating the waning “contributions” to the social security “trust fund” ... they need to kick the can down the road just a little longer.
