The sad thing is both parties are determined to kill the economy of this nation and drive us into a 3rd world status.
This will bankrupt Social Security and drive the elderly onto the welfare rolls or have them selling apples in the street .
If this happens, the flood of Mexicans coming over the Border will triple.
We are witnessing the best government money can buy selling our nation .
Another good read on our subject is Victor Davis Hanson. Here's a good transcript on his book "Mexifornia" from Booknotes on Cspan.

"LAMB: What`s the responsibility -- legal responsibility, if they`re in this country illegally, when it comes to health care and things like that?
HANSON: Well, there is none. That issue`s already been adjudicated. When the population of California voted under 187 to deny illegal immigrants state entitlements, that was overturned by a federal court, I think on the basis that part of the funding was federal funds, and the federal government hadn`t made that decision. It was usurping federal control. But so it`s wide open. And because we are -- despite the invective, we are a liberal, humane society, when somebody comes into the Salma hospital, as I went in the other day, and he`s stabbed or shot or hurt or falls off a ladder, he`s going to get the level of care that we can provide, and he`s not going to be able to pay for it. And the only way we`re going to explain that is that he works hard and perhaps he paid taxes. But if we look at statistics, given the nature of unskilled labor, the entitlement is costing the state five times more than the person`s contributing in taxes."
