Law enforcement and the judicial system also have "job security" as well from illegal immigrants. Not to mention security industry as well, insurance companys for "uninsured motorists" on and on. Teachers have a big interest in it too.

I have watched this problem since the early eighties. Nobody seems serious about it. I am hopeful with the renewed interests. But very skeptical. The minutemen seem to be doing the most good.
Yes. They've finally brought it to the forefront. However, it is far too little, way too late. People around me are becoming angry, but there is NOTHING they can do about it.
