I'm tired of hearing about how the illegal aliens are "...doing the jobs that Americans won't do". This is code for "Works for less than minimum wage". Why are we not focusing on the companies that are violating state and Federal labor laws by paying less than the minimum? Why are these businesses not being fined and employers thrown in jail? Make a public example of some of these people, and the labor market for illegals will dry up.
Until a real return system is created, those illegals who are still in the country will continue to go on the public payroll via "entitlement" programs such as welfare, free healthcare, free education, and receive driver's licenses. They will further depress wages and take jobs from people who play by the rules, and contribute to political and social unrest by refusing to adapt to American culture (Mexican flags, anyone?).
I'm not anti-immigration. I'm anti-ILLEGAL immigration. Something needs to be done about this, and I can see it coming to a head very soon, especially in an election year. More than that, I believe that this is the #1 issue facing America today...more so than the War on Terror. We are sitting next to a bubbling cauldron of seething rage, and it will eventually get knocked over and burn us all.
