I agree. Non citizens, especially illegals should not be receiving welfare, and we do give them a lot. We should send them home. That ticket I will pay for. But the illegal immigration from Mexico problem is one of an attractive nuisance. As long as there is a rich environment here and a poor one at home they will continue to come. There is no physical barrier to Mexico being a wealthy country. I wish I knew how to fix that. Hungry people will continue to crawl through glass to get here.

As a side note... I don't see biological attacks hitting these colonias first, I think the bad guys have higher ambitions than that.

The bad guys won't hit colonias. Once a bug is out of the bag it'll hit everywhere. The areas with the least sanitation and most overcrowding will get hit the worst. No question about it. This will make it more difficult to fight.

The question is...why aren't we sending them home, and why are we continuing to pay for them here? Lots of us would like to know the answer to that question. If there were no incentive to Mexicans to come here, any people traffic from Mexico would be easier to stop and more likely to be with bad intent. Either drug traffickers or terrorists. When 10K people/day arrive it's difficult to determine the needle from the haystack. If only 100 people/day arrived, the likelihood that one of them would be a bad guy would increase exponentially.

Why do you think there has been little effort to a. send them home and b. stop their getting welfare/foodstamps/etc here? Inquiring minds/etc...

Even the evil druglords would help us catch these pukes. They might take their money to get them in here but then they would turn around and do them in just as readilly. They don't need bio-weapons wiping out a bunch of their customers.

As to immigration. We will never stop the folks from down South from coming to America. We also do not want to. If we wanted to we would try harder. It's like cancer. I don't think doctors consciously fail to cure cancer because they make so much money form it. But the billions of dollars made on cancer ... keep cancer around.

Illegal immigration keeps our population from taking a nose dive. For the same reason that the Europeans are turning their land into Eurabia ... we will continue to import southern labor. It's not so much for the cheap workers. Not at all really. It's for the population. Without growth (both in GNP AND babies) a socialist economy will self destruct quite rapidly.
