I think the differing views on illegal immigration result from class. If you were born with the “silver spoon” or currently have one firmly implanted in your face (aka Jeb, McCain, Graham), you tend to look down an the native lower class as lazy. As a result, you see these escapees from the Latin American lower class that are more diligent, and you think the opportunity here should go to them because they are willing to work for it. The problem is that the Democrats with some help from Republicans have created the safety net/hammock, but now they'd just as soon import the help to compensate for the indolence they created. Republicans like Jeb Bush seem to have little empathy for the native blue collar type. Democrats are smart. They've been importing a new lower class that leans their way, and have been converting the middleclass into government employess. Fiscally unsustainable, but like Christy said last night, they don't seem to care. We need a Reagan again that can connect with the blue collar crowd, strengthen their numbers in non-government jobs, and slam the door on these socialists being imported from the south.

"...slam the door on these socialists being imported from the south."

Reminds me of that trip through Mexico many years ago, the further south I went the more prevalent the Hammer and Sickle graffiti became. Just sayin'.
