Two-thirds of illegal immigrants' children are U.S. citizens [ Excellent article on CNN - read the fully story at the link] cnn.com there are an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants. They tend to be younger than U.S. citizens, more likely to hold jobs but less likely to have high school diplomas. In 1990, almost half lived in California, the Pew analysis said. By 2004, California's share had dropped to about one-quarter, even though the state's illegal population had grown from 1.48 million to about 2.45 million. They are moving to states like North Carolina, Iowa, Ohio and Georgia as they seek jobs and establish communities. North Carolina has nearly 16 times the number of illegal immigrants it had in 1990, the Pew analysis said. 5 percent of labor force are illegal workers More than nine in 10 males illegally here are in that labor force [ i.e. 10% do not work ] Illegal immigrants are concentrated in construction, agriculture and cleaning jobs. They make up 36 percent of all insulation workers, 29 percent of agricultural workers and 29 percent of roofers. cnn.com cnn.com

Actually, using Nazis as a comparison is a good idea. However, I would compare radical Islam to Nazis. Nazis wanted to wipe Jews off the planet. Radical Islam wants the same. In fact, Radical Islam would like to wipe all non-Muslims off the planet, as proven by the diatribes of their clerics and by the bombings in the US, Spain, UK, Russia, Israel, and other acts of terrorism in France and the Netherlands. This is a world war started by Radical Islam, and the West doesn't even realize it yet. By the way, do some reading on the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Nazi propaganda is alive and well and being perpetuated by the radical Muslims in the Middle East. Do we need to wipe Islam off the planet? No. But we do need to wipe radical Islam off the planet and we do need to coerce the mdoerate Muslims to reform their religion to be more tolerant of other religions, to embrace democratic government, respect women and human rights, and to allow room for other freedoms, such as freedom of the press and freedom of expression. Right now, even moderate Islam is not compatible with the West or conducive to world wide peace. Give it some real thought, don't just parrot back the propaganda of your chosen political affiliation.
