"We haven't had millions of Mexicans pouring over the border before now."
Yes. We have. Why do you think Reagan gave them amnesty in 1986. Do you really think this is a new problem. But your original statement slams Bush for not securing the border in a time of war. He joins a long and distinguished list of Presidents in that regard.
"What makes me mad is that, and I'll say it again, we weren't asked if we wanted to do this."
Do what?

No we haven't. The demographic change the "free traders" inspired didn't actually start to happen until after the 1986 amnesty.

The act he signed was supposed to STOP illegal immigration. But because it had no enforcement, it didn't. It was to give amnesty only to 1 million, but congress changed that and gave amnesty to 3 million and allowed for chain immigration. Why do you think he signed the act? Why did congress take the teeth out of it? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice......
