He Tator Salad, you're confusing apples with oranges, er Mexicans with Canadians. Canadians working in the U.S. economy are a net plus to the economy. Mexicans are not. The Heritage foundation found that the cost to the U.S. Taxpayer is $100,000 per illegal over the life of *each* illegal. Because they are seen as potential voters, they are coodled and draw upon social entitlements, i.e., education, health care, foodstamps in a hugely disproportionate way, over any other constitutuency and that would include, 'um Canadians.
Your pithy questions to anti-illegal immigrant advocates are only clever by half.
A large number of anti illegal immigration congressmen got defeated. Democrats want Amnesty and Fast Citizenship for ALL Hispanics. That is what the Democrats want and there are not anywhere near enough Republicans opposed to that policy to stop them.
What part of the Democrats now control both the House and Senate escapes you? There are not enough anti Mexican immigration Republicans in the Senate to filibuster the bill! It is going to pass both houses and Bush has said many times that he will sign the bill.
Only a hanful of voters care what a Mexican immigrant costs society. There were not enough to elect several anti illegal immigration candidates. It was the pro mexican immigration candidates that won enough races to allow Democrats to take control of both houses of congress.
You are Clueless.
