First it was 100%, now it's 25%.
While I don't believe the Pew data either, since they are pro illegal, 25% is a much more reasonable number.
As for the distinction between illegal and legal, it's always made. Very few posters on FR want every non citizen deported. That's just another lie. Do you work for pew?
And while our food supply is currently dependent on foreign labor, that fact is keeping us from advancing technology that can replace humans. Cut off the illegals and farms would have to advance technologically.

As I recall, you are zealous about deporting the Salvadorans who are here legally, but you think they have been here to long. In fact, many here say that they are opposed only to illegals, but in reality, they are not. I challenge you to start a thread on the H2B visa quota increase that is coming up for renewal and being currently discussed in Congress. I can predict that the replies will be overwhelmingly opposed.
Like most, you trot out the mantra of automation/mechinization. The reality is that the US is not backward in farming techniques. The reality is that you know nothing about automation, farming, or capital investments.

Quite a few posters here at FR want all immigration stopped (LEGAL and illegal). I don't know how many want actual legal immigrants in the country deported, but many want United States citizens, born IN THIS COUNTRY, deported.
