You're right. It's much harder to find people living in a fixed location, going to the same job every day, than it is to find people on their guard trying to sneak across miles of open border.

Genius, try reading what I wrote instead of what you'd like to see. I didn't say it was harder, I said it was different. And it is. One is politically acceptable and the other is not (for politicians seeking the hispanic vote). Don't look for enemies where there aren't any.

Yes, I know it is "different."

But it is being dishonestly portrayed it as a logistics problem by President Bush and many here on FR, as opposed to a political problem.

By that standard (politically acceptable vs. not politically acceptable) what can, or will ever be done? I am not beholden to illegal hispanic votes. I don't benefit financialy from the creation of an illegal class of "sub-citizens." Illegal immigration is a net-negative for me and most other American citizens whom the President and the rest of the government are supposed to represent.

Pretty words and half-measures from the President will only fool the politically-ignorant voters and will do nothing to solve the problem.
