DUers supporting illegal immigrants are falling for the trap
Advertisements [?]
The repukes love illegal immigrants. They also want more immigrants via the H1B visa program. It's all about supply and demand. Keep importing cheap laborers and pit them against US workers. Keep driving the wages and benefits down.

There are only about 140 million jobs available in the this country, and that hasn't changed much since Bushit was selected prez. However, the population has increased and millions of illegals have crossed the border into our country since 2001 ABWS.

With outsourcing and fake free trade deals shipping jobs out of the country, the future is bleak indeed. More American citizens will be in competition with immigrants for the slave-wage jobs that remain. The minimum wage will never increase. Before long, college grads will be happy with their $8.00 an hour Wal Mart jobs.

The repukes will continue their little immigration game to placate their base, but they will blame the dems for immigration reform failure. All the while, they will be laughing all the way to the bank, and certain DUers will continue to promote open borders and unlimited immigration.

Sometimes I believe that repuke operatives are on this board masquerading as democrats defending illegal immigration. Some posters remind me of a Limbaugh skit back in the early 90s that depicted liberals as hopelessly out of touch and totally lacking in common sense.

Lou Dobbs and Thom Hartman, one a paleocon and one a progressive, have both come to basically the same conclusion on this issue. It's time for Mexico to stop exporting their problems and their poverty, and it's time for the USA to start taking care of it's own citizens.
