In case you were wondering, the thing that started all this "illegal immigrant" hoopla was a Bill that was passed by the House of Representatives last fall. The Bill made it a crime to be an illegal immgrant and provided both procedures and funding for State and Federal law enforcement to start rounding up and prosecuting the approximately 12 million "criminals" it would create. Halliburton (that's the company that "Tricky Dick" Cheney is affiliated with) had "coincidentally" just finalized a long-term contract with the government to construct a bunch of additional federal prison and detention facilities which "coincidentally" this new bill would probably require. These 12 million new "criminals" would have to be arrested, housed and fed while they were being prosecuted for the "crime" of being illegally here (since the Bill also made them inelligible for bail once they were arrested). Once convicted, they would have to serve up to two years in prison, then turned over to U.S. immigration to be deported.

In brief summary, the Bill wanted us to arrest people we want to kick out, then forcibly keep them from leaving while we feed them, clothe them, house them and pay for their criminal defense. Stupidest Bill I EVER saw.

Thankfully, Congress came down from their crack high and the Bill never even made it to the Senate floor. However, the fact that this piece of idiocy was passed OVERWHELMINGLY by the GOP controlled House generated a certain "angst" within the immigrant community, which fueled the start of a grassroots campaign protesting this stupid Bill, which continued to gain momentum until it became what you see today.

So if you don't like all these demonstrations and demands for "civil rights" for illegal immigrants, you can blame the GOP

as for sealing the border yes its hard to do but limiting the number of people crossing it is rather impossible it seems. as for the room mate that does suck but in cases like his he has an education he is a different story and i dont mean to have kids deported for their parents wrong doing its a hard thing to do because if you say how can you get rid of kids well then parents will bring kids in to the country and hey we cant get rid of em so they stay. but heres the problem the ones here lets say they become legal so now they go on welfare because now they have rights so now your and my taxes go up and sure they work for nothing at the grocery store and thats why they are on welfare but now they are given the right to vote next thing you know they elect one of their own because quite frankly in parts of NYC as in LA and much of California the white groups along with many others are simply out numbered. this is no easy issue and someone has to lose but why does it have to be you and me when we earned our rights here why should we make it a "communistic" feel of them fleeing and becoming one of us when we were here and have the same rights.?

As I said, there's no easy fix. However, I don't have a problem being "outnumbered" by people who aren't white - and neither should you, quite frankly. It's just skin color. If you are REALLY concerned about "white groups" being outnumbered, you might want to take that "concern" out and examine it more closely.
