AMERICANS are wide awake to the border fiasco. Unfortunately, virtually all of our politicians (except Representative Tancredo) pander to those in corporate management who are more interested in cheap labor than they are in the integrity of the US workforce and US citizenship. Add to that they don't mind one bit that the US workers (many unemployed or underemployed because on non-citizen labor) subsidize this "cheap" corporate labor through taxes paying for services.
If 911 wasn't enough to close the border for a while and figure out who should and who should not be here, expect nothing from those in charge.
