"Delgado said the people on the bus represent 10 million undocumented immigrants who contribute $730 million each year to the U.S. economy."
According to Tom McClintock, illegal immigrants in California ALONE cost more than $2 Billion, can you just imagine the total cost to society for all illegal immigrants across the country. No wonder why our infrastructure investments have been deferred. We've had to pay the present costs of healthcare, education, and law enforcement costs for people that draw heavily from society, but contribute little in the form of taxes.

These illegal aliens (oops, no PC) are a clear and present danger. Our transparent borders are a security concern and a health concern.
No, we are not Xenophobes thinking the Hispanic crowd is a danger, but the ease at which they traverse our borders is an obvious danger.
The health concern is very real, many diseases we have "conquered" here in the U.S. are not conquered worldwide. Legal immigrants get screened/vaccinated etc. but not the illegal immigrants.
The solution is both simple and yet very complex. The borders are underfunded and understaffed. Our economy engine is still "ramping up" although sometimes sputtering.
The political pandering is a realization that the economy would suffer greatly if any real effort to "send them back" occurred...until the economy is "humming" again. In the meantime since we can't financially risk removing them, the effort is to politically pander to the Hispanic voting block, not in the hope of getting alot of it but to "dilute" the voting block the "other" party counts as a given.
Yes, they are hard workers. Yes, they do work many wouldn't. It is wrong to allow them to "cut ahead in line" of legal immigrants who are just as hardworking and eager if given the chance.

They really hate the U.S.
If the liberals were givin the U.S.S.A. they're demanding, they'd have to work to survive like everyone else. I wonder if they're aware of that.
